Baked Oysters with Willabay Curry Seasoning Spice Blend

Baked Oysters with Willabay Curry Seasoning Spice Blend

Ingredients:

• 12 fresh, live oysters
• 1/4 cup Willabay Breading
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons Willabay Curry Seasoning Spice Blend
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh green onions (scallions), finely chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

Preparing the Oysters:

1. Clean the Oysters: Scrub the oysters under cold running water with a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Shucking the Oysters: Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge of the oyster, twisting gently until the shell pops open. Slide the knife along the top shell to detach the oyster from the bottom shell. Discard the top shell and loosen the oyster from the bottom shell without detaching it completely.

Preparing the Topping:

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the Willabay Breading, melted butter, and Willabay Curry Seasoning Spice Blend. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

Baking the Oysters:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Arrange the Oysters: Place the shucked oysters, still attached to the bottom shell, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring they are level to prevent any of the flavorful juices from spilling out.
3. Add the Topping: Spoon the Willabay Breading mixture evenly over each oyster, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the Willabay breading topping, distributing it evenly.
5. Bake the Oysters: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the oysters for about 10-12 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the oysters are heated through.

Serving:

1. Garnish: Sprinkle the baked oysters with freshly chopped green onions (scallions) for a pop of color and flavor.
2. Serve with Lemon Wedges: Serve the baked oysters hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over the oysters before enjoying.
