Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 12 Oyster Medium to large size
• 4 tbs Butter unsalted
• 1 cup parmesan cheese grated
• 2 lemon juice
• 1 bag Kale washed and chopped
• 1 tbs garlic spice

Instructions

 

Oyster Prep

• Shuck oysters and set on a rack over a tray for baking. Keep the oysters facing up not to lose the liquid. Set aside. I use an oyster bed. ( link this)
• Melt the butter and garlic powder in a liquid measuring cup
• Pour evenly over all the oysters
• Preheat the over to 425 degrees
• Squeeze lemon all over
• Shave parmesan all over
• Bake the oysters for about 12-minutes and finish under broiler for about 2-minutes depending on how hot your oven gets. Keep an eye on them as they can burn fast if you don't watch them.
• Shave parmesan all over again before plating

Kale Salad

• Take the kale off the ribs and place in a big bowl
• Massage the kale for about 5 minutes to break it down; softer and releases the flavor
• Dress it with a simple oil and vinegar
• Squeeze lemon all over and toss the salad
• Shave parmesan cheese all over just before serving
• Plate up with oysters alongside the salad

Notes

Pairs well with Sauvignon Blanc, a Muscadel, or Champagne.
Serving just the oysters is a treat on its own.  You’ll want to up the portions!
