Ingredients: 1 pint low-fat milk 8 frozen desert hairy scorpions or a similar species thawed 1 cup white cornmeal 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped Pour the milk into a medium-sized bowl; add the scorpions and set aside while preparing the rest of the ingredients. In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter. Remove scorpions from the milk mixture, allowing the excess to drain off. Dredge the scorpions through the cornmeal, one at a time. Shake off the excess flour. Place the scorpions in the hot butter and cook until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Then turn the scorpions over and cook until done, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with lemon juice and chopped parsley and serve. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	People eat all kinds of bugs. A scorpion is just a dry land crawdad with a stinger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
