For casual occasions you can't beat the old natural oyster with a squeeze of lemon. However if you're entertaining you might want to spice things up a little. The fresh chilli and ice cold gin in this marinade should be more than enough to do the trick. Ingredients:
juice of 1 lime |
1 tsp finely chopped lime zest |
1 oz gin |
1/2 tsp finely chopped ginger |
1 tsp mirin |
1 tsp white sugar |
1/2 bird's eye chilli finely chopped |
2 dozen rock oysters |
Directions:
1. Place all the above ingredients in a jar, cover with lid and shake vigorously.
2. Take teaspoon and drizzle small amount over each oyster just before serving.
3. For a more intense flavour; spoon over oysters one hour before serving.
4. Note that this recipe is intended to have a fair bit of kick, if it is too spicy remove the seeds from the chilli before chopping, alternatively if it is too alcoholic hold back on half the gin.
