Chef’s Tip: Hold the oyster with an oven mitt or kitchen towel, flat side up, cupped side down. Insert a butter knife into the oyster and twist. Then slide the tool between the shells, open and enjoy!
Ingredients
8 oz. salted butter (room temperature)
2 tbsp. garlic (minced)
2 tbsp. ginger (minced)
2 tbsp. red curry paste
2 cup cilantro (washed, rough chopped)
2 cup Thai basil (washed, stems removed)
1 lemon (zested, juiced)
1 tbsp. Sriracha (optional)
½ tbsp. fish sauce
plastic wrap
24 fresh oysters (pre-shucked or frozen half shell)
1 cup salt (optional, presentation only)
Instructions
Place the butter, garlic, ginger, curry paste, cilantro, Thai basil, lemon zest and juice, Sriracha and fish sauce into a food processor and blend until smooth. Spoon the mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a 1½” thick log and chill. Once firm, slice the butter into rounds.
Using pre-shucked fresh oysters or frozen half shell oysters, place a half-dollar-size-round of the compound butter on top of each oyster.
Preheat the grill to high. Place the oysters, cup side down, on hot grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes until cooked. Place grilled oysters onto a serving plate, on a bed of salt, if desired, add a squeeze of lemon and enjoy with a glass of Pinot Grigio.
