Ingredients
- Juice of one lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 shot of Petron silver tequila
- 1 teaspoon minced cilantro
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 24 farm-raised oysters on the half-shell, juices retained
- 8 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoon Saracha sauce
- Dash of chili sesame oil
- teaspoon minced fresh lime zest
- At least 2 cups rock salt for lining platter
Directions
In a small bowl whisk together the mayo, saracha, lime zest and chili oil and set aside.
Whisk lime juice with olive oil, tequila, cilantro, 1/2 tsp. salt, and the pepper in a bowl.
Add oysters and their juices, reserving bottom shells. Chill oysters 30 to 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, soak shells in water for 30 minutes. Drain on a kitchen towel and pat dry. Preheat gas or charcoal grill to very hot or an oven to 500 degrees.
Spoon 1 oyster into each shell with 1 tbsp. marinade and one teaspoon of the chili mayo sauce and add a few dashes of Tabasco chipotle sauce.
Now grill or bake until they begin to bubble and you are getting some nice color on them. I finish them with a blow touch to really bring out some nice color and tang but this is optional.
Make as many as you can because these babies go quick and your guests will be looking under the bed for any extras!
