Prepare the ingredients
After buying the oysters, place them in a basin of water and use a brush to scrub the outer shell to remove all dirt stuck on the shell, then rinse again with clean water.
Next, use scissors to cut off the thin shell around the oyster, then use the tips of the scissors to separate the two shells. Keep only the part of the shell that has the oyster attached, and discard the shell that does not have any meat.
Peel and chop the shallots. Remove the roots from the green onions, wash them clean, and chop them finely. Crack the quail eggs and place them in a bowl first.

Roasting peanuts and making scallion oil
Place a pan on the stove, add 50g of peanuts, and roast evenly over low heat for about 4 minutes until the peanuts are roasted fragrant, then turn off the heat, let the peanuts cool slightly, then peel off the shells and pound them in a mortar.
Add 80ml of cooking oil to the pan and heat it over medium heat until the oil is hot, then turn off the heat, pour the hot oil into a bowl containing finely chopped scallions and shallots, stir well to complete the delicious scallion oil.

Grilling oysters
Put charcoal into the grill, adjust it so that the charcoal glows red, place the grilling rack on top and sequentially add each shucked oyster.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of scallion oil into each oyster, grill for about 2 minutes until the scallion oil bubbles, then add 1 quail egg yolk.
Grill for another 3 minutes until the egg yolk is cooked, then transfer the oysters to a plate, sprinkle some crushed peanuts on each oyster and enjoy!
Tip: To prevent the oysters from drying out while grilling, if you run out of scallion oil during grilling, add more!

How to choose fresh and delicious oysters
- To make grilled oysters, you should choose oysters that are still in their shells, have a conical shape, and are tightly closed; when you shake them, you should hear a sound. The oyster shells should not be too dry.
- Prioritize choosing oysters with short shells, round bodies, not too large, and having a peak, as these are the oysters that contain more meat.
- For oysters that have already been shucked, you should choose those with the oyster meat firmly attached and filling the shell, looking still fresh.
- Avoid choosing oysters that can be easily separated from the shell by hand or shucked oysters that are dry, as these are oysters that have died or have been stored for too long.
How to properly prepare oysters
- Step 1: Soak the oysters in water for about 2 hours to allow them to release the sand inside and to soften the dirt on the outside of the shell. Then, use a brush to scrub the shell thoroughly under running water until the oyster shell is clean.
- Step 2: Use a large pair of scissors to cut close to the edge of the oyster about 1cm. Then, use the tip of the scissors to press down firmly on the top edge of the oyster shell, and you can separate the top shell.
How to choose fresh and delicious quail eggs
- When buying quail eggs, look for those with slightly rough shells, with a white powdery coating on the outside. Bring the egg close to your ear, shake gently, and listen for any sounds.
- Additionally, you can check the eggs by holding them up to sunlight. If the space at the top of the egg is small and the inside of the egg is clear, without any black spots or cloudy red areas, then it is a good quail egg.
- Avoid buying eggs that have cracked shells, show black spots, and emit an unpleasant odor.
