1
Prepare the Oysters
Place the fresh oysters in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes to allow them to expel any sand or grit. After soaking, scrub the shells with a brush under running water to clean thoroughly.
2
Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge of the shell and twisting until it opens. Remove the top shell and loosen the oyster from the bottom shell, ensuring it remains in its liquor.
3
Prepare the Garnish
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, minced shallots, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well.
4
Assemble the Dish
Arrange the shucked oysters on a platter. Spoon a small amount of the lemon sauce mixture over each oyster. Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the oysters for garnish.
5
Serve
Serve the oysters immediately on ice with lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
