| 1/4 cup | Fresh cilantro, chopped |
| 1/4 cup | Green onions, thinly sliced |
| 3 cloves | Gingerroot, minced |
| 1/2 cup | Breadcrumbs |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Bed:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Sprinkle a generous layer of rock salt in a 15x10x1-inch jellyroll pan, ensuring an even bed for the oysters. Set aside.
-
-
Prep the Oysters:
- Thoroughly scrub the oyster shells under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck the oysters, discarding the top shell but keeping the oysters in their bottom shells intact.
-
Arrange Oysters:
- Once cleaned and shucked, arrange the oysters in a single layer on the prepared rock salt bed, ensuring they are evenly spaced and stable.
-
Barbecue Sauce Glaze:
- Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously coat each oyster with the low-sodium barbecue sauce, covering the exposed flesh of the oysters.
-
Prepare the Topping:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped fresh cilantro, thinly sliced green onions, minced gingerroot, and breadcrumbs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Top the Oysters:
- Sprinkle the prepared breadcrumb mixture evenly over the barbecue sauce-glazed oysters, ensuring each oyster is generously covered with the flavorful topping.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Place the pan of prepared oysters in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until the oysters are cooked through and begin to curl at the edges.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the Thai Barbecued Oysters from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter or individual plates.
