Grilled oysters with garlic butter

Method

• step 1

  Heat the grill to high. Mash the butter with the garlic and a little seasoning in a bowl.

• step 2

  Pop open the oysters, or get a fishmonger to do this for you. Drain the liquid from the shells and save for a bloody mary, if you like.

• step 3

  Pour four piles of coarse sea salt onto a baking tray and sit a rounded oyster shell on each so that they don’t wobble.

• step 4

  Divide the garlic butter between the four oysters and cook under the grill for 4-5 minutes, until bubbling and lightly golden.

• step 5

  Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes, then sprinkle with coriander and hot sauce and serve.
