I simply love this easy appetizer recipe from an Australian publication of Family Circle . The Oysters are removed from their shells for cooking and served in their shells. It makes a very attractive presentation. Oysters maybe served warm or cold , garnished with a little fresh red chilli.
Makes 24
2 dozen oysters in half shell
1 tbs peanut oil
1 to 3 tsp Red curry paste
2 cloves garlic , crushed
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbs soft brown sugar
2 tbs fish sauce
2 kaffir lime leaves , finely shredded
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Remove the oysters from their shells and wash shells throughly; dry with paper towels and set aside.
Heat the oil in a small pan , add curry paste , garlic and ginger; cook over high heat for 1 minute ou until aromatic.
Add sugar , fish sauce , kaffir lime leaves , lime juice and oysters to pan ; stirfry for about 3 minutes or until just cooked . Spoon oysters back into shells for serving . Oysters can be served warm or cold , topped with chopped red chilli.
