Oysters

Method

Preparation of Oysters

  1. 1

    Shucking the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck the Blue Point oysters. Hold the oyster firmly with a cloth, and insert the knife at the hinge. Twist the knife to pop open the shell, then slide the knife along the inside to cut the muscle. Discard the top shell.

  2. 2

    Placing Oysters in Shot Glasses

    Place each shucked oyster in a shot glass. Ensure the oyster is sitting flat at the bottom of the glass.

Preparation of Cocktail Sauce

  1. 3

    Mixing the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 4

    Serving

    Spoon a generous amount of the cocktail sauce mixture over each oyster in the shot glasses, ensuring the oyster is well coated.
