Answers:
I don't know of any prepared food, but you can make food from cicadas. Here's a site with recipes:

But please be aware that eating the cicadas isn't safe for everyone. Here's a story on what happened to one man who was allergic to them:

Perhaps if you give this information to your teacher and state that cicadas only emerge once every many years, and therefore no food manufacturer can make a profit on making food from them, you'll get the extra credit.
Good luck.
I live in Chicago. No food manufacturers will make food or sauce made from cicadas because noone will buy them and they would loose business. If you ask your friends or other people if they would buy food made from cicadas, would they buy it? of course not. Tell that to your teacher. I dont know if you heard that some teachers at Niles West high school had a cicadas for picnic, it was just for fun though. Well I just caught 10 cicadas today and me and my uncle are gonna fry them in hot cooking oil and eat them with beer.
