Delicious and elegant Christmas dinner starter: oysters on the half shell.

Ingredients:

1 medium tomato, seeded, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
1 medium shallot, finely diced (1/4 cup)
40.00 ml finely chopped fresh coriander
42.00 gm fresh lime juice
1 habanero chilli (see tip), seeded, very finely chopped
Fine sea salt, to taste
Rock salt
Crushed ice
32 fresh oysters on the half shell, from the deli

Instructions:

Prepare the mignonette by gently combining the tomato, shallot, coriander, lime juice, and habanero chili in a small bowl. Season with sea salt to taste and set aside.
Present the oysters with the extra mignonette on the side.
Before serving, generously sprinkle rock salt over a non-reactive rimmed platter, then layer crushed ice on top. Sprinkle another generous handful of rock salt over the ice to keep it from melting.
Place the oysters in their shells on the ice, gently securing them to prevent spills. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the mignonette over each oyster and serve the rest in a small bowl.
