USE ONLY FRESHLY HATCHED NYMPHS SO YOU HAVE TO WORK QUICKLY.
ADD FRESH SALTED BUTTER TO A SKILLET AND SLIGHTLY COOK BUTTER UNTIL IT TURNS LIGHT BROWN. ADD NYMPHS, SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE AND TOSS OVER MEDIUM HEAT UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN. GARNISH WITH CHOPPED PARSLEY. BE CAREFUL BECAUSE NYMPHS MAY POP FROM HEAT OF SAUTE. SERVE OVER BROWN RICE. SERVE WITH BUTTERY CHARDONNAY. -jasubar

>Repeat.
>Cool on wax paper-covered sheet pan.
>Enjoy!
? Ummmmm.....shouldn't we kill the Cicadas first? -briony123
**Do not kill before dipping in chocolate. When dipped in hot melted chocolate the cicada facial expressions are wonderful conversation topics as they are all varied and different. Kids love them. -epom
**There are some good points to eating cicadas. You can use the legs to pick the wings from between your teeth. -epom
!! Everyone is being insensitive did it ever occur to anyone that cicada moms are reading about these horrible atrocities that you plan for their kids. -epom
d. Stuffed Cicada:
Boil egg. Finely chop. Set aside. Turn cicada onto back, careful not to crush wings or separate legs from body. Make a vertical incision down center of cicada's "tummy." Pull chitin open to expose tummy. Scoop out tummy with all innards. In separate bowl, mix cicada innards, freshly ground pepper, sea salt, finely chopped egg, dijon mustard, and Louisiana Hot Sauce. Puree. Stuff mixture into cicada shells. (4 to 6 cicadas per serving). Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Delicious with Bloody Marys.- bugsy -cnanceesq
**recipe also works well with molting tarantulas. -lapis57
?How many points is that on Weight Watchers? puffybella
?Got a carb total on that? Guessing its high in protein. -cantgoslow
e. Skewered Cicada
Catch a bunch of 'em, but keep 'em fresh. Dont kill them yet.
take a skewer and stick it through the middle of a whole bunch of them at once and soak it in a marinade of your choice. They will beat their wings to distribute the marinade evenly until they finally die. Then, put them on the barbecue till they cook crispy............yum, yum! :) nabber2
f. Southern-Fried Cicada
Catch Cicadas at night before they dry and get hard, dip in egg mixture, coat with flour, deep fry, seasonwith salt and pepper, drizzle honey over them, enjoy. best of all these are high in protein, low in fat and are Kosher. -dsl scottie
g. No-Fuss Cicada
Just add a little garlic and butter and saute in a pan and it taste just like chicken. -reallyweird1
