Carolina Reaper Salt and Pepper Moreton Bay Bug Tails

So easy and quick but soooooo freaking tasty. Last time I cooked this I put them in sliders with avocado, rocket and Kewpie mayonnaise. If you don't dig on chilli, just use normal salt. I may get around to a photo one day...


200gms Moreton Bay Bug Tails, halved length ways

100gms corn flour

Big pinch Carolina Reaper Salt

Heaps of cracked pepper

Pinch of Chinese 5 Spice

3 egg whites beaten (not stiff just whipped)

Vegetable oil for frying

Salt (just the reg)

Lemon 


Heat the oil to a temperature for deep frying, approximately 180C. Combine the flour, Reaper salt, pepper and Chinese 5 Spice. Dust the bug tails in the flour and mix through the egg whites. Fry in the oil for about 2 minutes or until slightly coloured. Place onto a wired cooling rack, season with salt and a squeeze of lemon. Maybe do this to 500gms of bug tails, it tastes that good
