Oysters with lime dressing
  • 1

  • 2
    Place remaining ingredients in a screw-top jar; shake well. Season with salt. Drizzle dressing over oysters; serve immediately.

Notes

Not suitable to freeze or microwave When serving oysters in the shell, they are best pushed into a bed of rock salt so they they don't tip over, losing their dressing.
