Ingredients

  • 12 fresh, shell-on oysters

Directions

  1. Clean oysters under cold water using a scrub brush to remove detritus clinging to the shells.

  2. Open oysters by carefully inserting a thin knife blade into the hinge, where the top and bottom of the shell come together. Gently twist the knife back and forth to separate the top from the bottom. Discard the top shell piece.

  3. Place bottom part of shell containing the oyster on a large serving tray. Serve with Paleo sauces on the side.
