Method for providing an edible scorpion

Abstract

A method for providing an edible scorpion in accordance with the present invention includes the steps of catching the scorpion and submerging the scorpion in a vat containing an alcoholic solution for a predetermined amount of the time. Next, the scorpion internal organs and last ball of the scorpion tail (which contains the venom reservoir and stinger) are removed. This leaves the scorpion exoshell. The scorpion exoshell is then boiled in an alcoholic beverage for a predetermined time, rinsed in an alcohol bath and then allowed to cool to room temperature. The scorpion exoshell is placed in a bottle and rinsed by filling the bottle, again with the alcoholic beverage. If the alcoholic beverage remains clear and free and grime and/or discoloration, the process is complete. If not, the scorpion exoshell is removed, placed in another bottle and the rinse step is repeated until the alcoholic beverage remains clear. The result is a stable, edible scorpion, which can be bottled with the alcoholic beverage for further packaging and distribution.
