Ingredients for Baked Garlic Butter Oysters For 3 people
Fresh oysters 10 pieces Vegetable butter 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise 1 tablespoon Laughing Cow cheese 4 slices Chopped garlic 3 tablespoons Shrimp salt 1 teaspoon
How to choose fresh and delicious oysters
- You should choose oysters with a high peak on the shell, as these will have larger and tastier meat.
- At the same time, you should select those whose shells are still tightly closed, as this will help retain the seawater inside, making the oyster meat tastier and fatter.
- For pre-shucked oysters, you should choose those with meat that clings tightly and fills the shell, as these will still be fresh and likely just pried open.
Note: You can buy various types of butter, mayonnaise, cheese at Bách Hóa XANH supermarkets nationwide, or you can visit TasteVN to purchase products!

Preparing the oysters
To clean the oysters, soak them in cold water for about 2 hours. Then, use a brush to scrub the oyster shells thoroughly, especially the mouth of the oyster, while rinsing them under strong running water to wash away the mud and dirt.
After the oysters are cleaned, to separate the oyster shells, you can blanch them in boiling water for about 2 – 3 minutes and then remove them. The boiling water will cause the oyster shells to open slightly, then you can gently pry them apart with a knife.
Quick and easy way to open oyster shells:
- Another method to open oyster shells that you can apply is to grill the oysters over a fire for about 3 minutes; the heat will help the shells open on their own, and all you need to do is gently pry them apart.
- You can also open oyster shells by using scissors to cut the edge of the oyster shell about 1 cm, then use the tip of the scissors to press against the top edge of the shell and apply strong pressure downwards, and the oyster will be separated. You just need to gently remove the top shell and rinse it to prepare for cooking.
