Sample Canapes

Method

Sample Canapes

  1. 1

    Shuck the oysters and arrange on the half-shells on a serving platter.

  2. 2

    Prepare the embers: heat a charcoal grill or grill pan until hot, then place the oysters on the grill to lightly ember the edges for about 30–60 seconds.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and shallot, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 2–3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in smoked paprika and crushed red pepper flakes; cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and whisk in lemon juice and lemon zest; season with sea salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Spoon or brush a small amount of the warm butter mixture onto each oyster.

  7. 7

    Return the oysters to the grill just until the butter is bubbling and the oysters are heated through, about 1–2 minutes.

  8. 8

    Transfer to a clean platter, finish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
