Oyster Shooters


Celebrating the end of the year with fancy food is one way to mark a milestone. Take it over the top with oyster shooters and you have something special. I guess this infusion of shucked oysters, spicy cocktail sauce and liberal splashes of vodka do have a select following. So if you care to partake then read further!

Whip up a batch of cocktail sauce with ketchup, wasabi, mustard  and Worcestershire sauce. Wet the rims of shot glasses and dunk them in tajin, a Mexican chile and lime powder. Slip an oyster into the glass. Spoon cocktail over the oyster. Pour vodka into the glass. To top it off or not, is the burning question. 


OYSTER SHOOTERS

Serves 2


4 shucked Oysters

4 tablespoons Tomato Ketchup

1 teaspoon Wasabi powder

1/2 teaspoon Mustard

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

Pinch of Kosher Salt

Tajin Seasoning 

Grey Goose or any premium Vodka 


Whisk ketchup, wasabi, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and salt together in a bowl.

Wet rims of 4 shot glasses. 

Dip them in a plate of tajin seasoning.  If you haven't any tajin, run a cut lime over the rims and then dip the rims in chile powder.

Slip an oyster into each glass. 

Top with a teaspoon of cocktail sauce. 

Drown the oyster in vodka.

Toss one down the hatch. Or all four!

The end of this year starts off just right. Grill some steaks. Eat a bar of Cadbury's milk chocolate and bring in the new year with rose-colored spectacles!!!
