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.
