Chilli Oysters Recipes

CHILLI OYSTERS

Steps:

• Combine the coriander, chilli, ginger and lime juice, then spoon the mixture over the freshly shucked oysters to serve.

DEEP FRIED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Heat deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine flour, salt and black pepper. Dredge oysters in flour mixture, dip in egg and roll in bread crumbs.
• Carefully slide oysters into hot oil. Cook five at a time until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain briefly on paper towels. Serve hot.

GRILLED OYSTERS WITH FENNEL BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare and light a grill or preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, blend together the butter, ground fennel seeds, shallots, fennel bulb, fennel greens, pepper and salt.
• Arrange the oysters on the grill or oven rack, cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until they start hissing and begin to open.
• Using an oyster knife, pry each oyster open at the hinge, loosen the oyster and discard the flat shell. Top each oyster with 1/2 teaspoon of the fennel butter. Return to grill and cook until butter is melted and hot.

SWEET CHILI OYSTERS

Steps:

• Fill each oyster shell with grated cheese.
• Top each with a teaspoon of sweet chili sauce.
• Cook on a medium grill until cheese has melted.

CRISP-FRIED OYSTERS WITH RED CHILE VINEGAR-BLACK PEPPER DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Season oysters with salt and pepper on both sides. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dredge each oyster into the cornmeal and tap off any excess.
• Heat 1 inch of oil in a large cast iron skillet until smoking. Fry oysters in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minutes on each side.
• Serve with the Red Chile Vinegar-Black Pepper Dipping Sauce on the side.
• Bring the vinegar to a boil in medium non-reactive saucepan. Add the chilies, turn off the heat and let steep for 1 hour. Strain into a clean saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and whisk in the honey and pepper and season with salt, to taste. Serve at room temperature.

OYSTERS WITH CHILLI & GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• Shuck your oysters if not already prepared. Watch our video guide.
• To make the sauce, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Drizzle the sauce over the oysters, then sprinkle with chopped chives and serve straight away.

OYSTERS WITH CHILLI DRESSING

Steps:

• Cut shallots (spring onions) into 5 cm lengths then shred legthwise very finely.
• Put the sweet chilli sauce, lime juice and olive oil in a bowl and mix until well combined. Add finely chopped coriander.
• Arrange the oysters on a platter on a bed of crushed ice. Place a couple of shreds of shallot (spring onion) on each oyster and serve immediately, either with a little of the dressing spooned over each oyster or, if you prefer, with the dressing served separately.
