My passion for sourcing, creating and sharing great food has brought me so much enjoyment over the years, and I love hearing a friend or family member telling me they've tried making one of the recipes I've cooked for them or told them about. This blog is my on-line journal so I can record my culinary musings.

I Demand More Oysters

Because you can never have too many recipes for oysters dripping in butter sauce... here is another version following on from my Oysters Rockefeller post! 

Oysters with Chilli Lime Butter Sauce

1 dozen oysters in the shell
50g butter
2 teaspoons of finely minced shallots or 4 teaspoons of finely chopped spring onions
2 teaspoons of finely chopped coriander
1/2 chopped red chilli or 1/2 teaspoon chilli paste

1 tablespoon of lime juice
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Rock salt or aluminium foil

1. Soften the butter and mix in the shallots or spring onions, chilli, lime, salt, and coriander. 

2. Put the rock salt or scrunched up foil on a baking tray and sit the oysters on top (the salt or foil will stop them from tipping over).

3. Top each oyster with a teaspoon of the butter.

4. Grill for 5 minutes or so until the butter is bubbling.
