Method

Assembly and Serving

  1. 1

    Chill and arrange

    Place the oyster platter on a bed of crushed ice. Arrange the 12 shucked oysters on the half shell and keep them cold until serving.

  2. 2

    Prepare lemon components

    Zest 1 Meyer lemon and set the zest aside. Juice 2 tablespoons from the two Meyer lemons and strain the juice if seeds are present.

  3. 3

    Make the lemon-tikka sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup Shiro dashi tikka masala sauce with the 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice and the lemon zest. If vegan option is requested, verify you are using a vegan Shiro dashi or a compatible miso-tikka base.

  4. 4

    Dress the oysters

    Just before serving, drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the lemon-tikka sauce over each oyster on the half shell. Reserve any remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

  5. 5

    Garnish and serve

    Serve immediately with lemon wedges or additional zest on the side. Optionally garnish with a tiny herb (e.g., chives) if desired.
