BBQ smoked oysters served with spicy gourmet butter, a Curtis Stone creation ready in 25 minutes.
Ingredients:
  • 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 2 anchovies
  • 20.00 ml lemon zest
  • 42.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 40.00 ml sambal oelek
  • 30.00 ml Sriracha, or hot chilli sauce
  • Rock salt, for serving
  • 24 fresh oysters, shucked, shells reserved (see Notes)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
  • Combine garlic, anchovies, lemon zest, lemon juice, sambal, and Sriracha in a small food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the butter on medium-high speed for 10 minutes until pale. Switch to the paddle attachment, add the anchovy-chilli paste, mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until blended. Season the chilli butter with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Prepare the barbecue for medium-high heat. For a gas barbecue, place the drained wood chips in the smoker box and enclose it. Alternatively, create a foil package with the wood chips and poke holes to allow the smoke to escape. Place the smoke box or foil directly on a lit burner. For a charcoal barbecue, sprinkle the drained wood chips over the prepared coals.
  • - Spread a generous layer of rock salt on a small baking tray. - Place the oysters in their half shells on top of the rock salt, making sure they are secure. - Top each oyster with 1/2 tablespoon of chili butter. - Melt the rest of the chili butter in a saucepan and set it aside for serving.
  • Grill the oysters on the barbecue until the butter is bubbling and the oysters are warm but still soft, about 3 minutes. Top with melted chilli butter, a squeeze of lemon, and serve.
