OYSTER MOTOYAKI

I love oysters. I tried oyster motoyaki for the first time when I was out west. I was too scared to try it myself. I mean... Shucking oysters?? Myself?!

Alas, I gave in to my craving. I hauled my butt to the grocery store and purchased oysters. Smaller ones to eat raw (hehe) and larger ones for baking. 

You can honestly just bake Japanese mayo on top of the shucked oysters, but I wanted more than that. Here's the recipe I used..

6 large oysters 

1 cup Japanese mayo

1tbsp red miso paste

1/4 cup chopped mushrooms 

1/4 cup onions

1 tsp of butter

1 tsp ground pepper

1 tsp of cayenne pepper

1. Preheat oven to 400°F

2. Whisk together Japanese mayo, miso paste, and peppers

3. Sauté mushrooms and onions with butter

4. Make sure oysters are separated from shell. You can cut the meat in half if it's too big. Spread a thin layer of the mayo mixture on the shell.

5. Place oysters back on shells. Top with the mushrooms and onions.

6. Top oysters with the mayo mixture.

7. Bake oysters on baking sheet for 15-20min.
8. Serve warm!
