Here is your friendly reminder that cicadas are very edible and have a similar taste/nutritional profile to shrimp.

They are also said to be good stir-fried in oil in a cast iron skillet with some chopped garlic and Old Bay seasoning.

Let's make lemonade out of lemons here.

I don’t want to hear “tastes like shrimp” anymore. I’d eat my fellow humans before I would eat a cicada.

I’ll never think of shrimp in the same way after reading this, and frankly won’t mind if I never taste it again. Glad I live where cicadas aren’t. I was in the Midwest during one of their famous emergences, and the roar from them was so loud that two people standing near one another had to shout over the din in order to carry on a conversation. Unreal...

I would only eat those if I was Henri “Papillon” Charrière in the Devil’s Island Prison..
