Description
Experience the fresh taste of Hog Island Oysters prepared two ways: raw with a hint of lime and hot sauce, or grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 fresh oysters, preferably Hog Island
- Pinch of lime zest
- Few drops of lime juice
- 1 dash Tapatio hot sauce
- Optional: your favorite hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your grill over medium-low heat with the hood open.
- Place the oysters in their shells directly on the heated grill.
- Watch for the shells to open slightly, indicating they are done. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully remove the oysters from the grill using tongs.
- For raw preparation, shuck the oysters and serve immediately with a pinch of lime zest, a few drops of lime juice, and a dash of Tapatio hot sauce.
- For grilled preparation, serve the oysters directly from the grill with your choice of hot sauce.
Notes
- Grilling Oysters: You can also grill them already shucked to watch the oyster cook to avoid overcooking.
- This method is more challenging as shucking raw oysters requires skill.
- Raw oysters are best served immediately after shucking for the freshest taste.
- Experiment with different hot sauces to find your favorite pairing.
