Ingredients

• 12 pieces Fresh oysters
• 1 medium-sized Red chilli
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon (finely chopped) Fresh coriander (cilantro)
• 1 stem (finely sliced) Spring onion (green onion)
• 1 pinch Sea salt
• 1 bowl (optional, for serving) Crushed ice

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning the oysters thoroughly under cold running water. Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove any debris from the shells.

Step 2

Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife. Insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster, twist to pop the shell open, and run the knife along the top shell to disconnect it. Make sure to retain the natural oyster liquor inside the bottom shell.

Step 3

Set the shucked oysters on a bed of crushed ice if serving immediately. This will keep them chilled and visually appealing.

Step 4

Finely chop the red chilli and garlic. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds from the chilli before chopping.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the chopped chilli, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until the honey is fully dissolved, creating a smooth dressing.

Step 6

Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the chilli dressing over each shucked oyster, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.

Step 7

Garnish each oyster with a pinch of finely chopped coriander and a slice or two of spring onion for a fresh, zesty finish.

Step 8

Serve the oysters immediately on their bed of crushed ice (if using) or on a chilled platter. Enjoy this dish fresh to preserve the natural taste and texture of the oysters.
