Grilled oysters with garlic butter
- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- Easy
- Serves 2 as a starter
Ingredients
- 50g butter, softened
- 3 large cloves garlic, crushed
- 6 oysters
- coarse sea salt
- coriander, finely chopped to make 2 tbsp
- hot sauce, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the grill to high. Mash the butter with the garlic and a little seasoning in a bowl.
- STEP 2
Pop open the oysters, or get a fishmonger to do this for you. Drain the liquid from the shells and save for a bloody mary, if you like.
- STEP 3
Pour four piles of coarse sea salt onto a baking tray and sit a rounded oyster shell on each so that they don’t wobble.
- STEP 4
Divide the garlic butter between the four oysters and cook under the grill for 4-5 minutes, until bubbling and lightly golden.
- STEP 5
Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes, then sprinkle with coriander and hot sauce and serve.
