This is a delicate dish that can be thought of as the more refined sister of Oysters Rockefeller. Rather than drowning the oysters in cheese, the garlic and lemon in this recipe let the oysters shine. Serves 8 4 cups kosher salt ½ cup butter, softened 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 small shallot minced 2 dozen oysters, shucked 1 bunch fresh thyme 1 lemon, halved 2. Mix 2 cup of kosher salt with just enough water to make it the consistency of wet sand. 3. Pour the remaining salt on a baking sheet. 4. Stir together the butter, garlic and shallots in a small mixing bowl. Place a teaspoon of garlic butter on each oyster and gently place the oysters on the salt to balance. 5. Top oysters with sprigs of thyme. 6. Place the oysters in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until the butter is bubbling and lightly browned. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. 7. Serve the oysters on a bed of wet salt. You must login or register to comment.
