Oysters at Home

What a great way to ring in the new year! 

Oysters, nesting in shaved ice with mignonette sauce

and a fine bottle of Italian dry white wine.....perfection!

My son and I took turns opening all the oysters.

When having oysters at home, there are many layers of preparation, 

it gives a greater appreciation to simply getting oysters in a restaurant.

Nesting the oyster in foil, so they won't tip and lose their juice, 

as you continue opening really helps.

Once they are all opened you can fill your large platter with shaved ice

( I used my food processor to shave the ice)

Nest the oyster in the ice and add your lemon wedges and sauce. 

Serve with chilled white wine or champagne.

As Always,

ENJOY!
