Grilled Oysters with Black Bean Sauce Grilled Oysters with Black Bean Sauce

Author: Canadian Living

A favourite Cantonese dish is oysters steamed with a dollop of garlicky black bean sauce on top, but we think these spicy grilled oysters might even be better!

  • Portion size 12 servings

Ingredients

Method

In small saucepan, heat oil over medium-low heat; fry shallots and garlic until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in black bean sauce, wine, sugar and vinegar; simmer for 2 minutes. Let cool. Stir in coriander and green onion.

Shuck oysters, discarding top shell and keeping as much liquid in bottom shell as possible; spoon about 1/2 tsp/2 mL bean sauce onto each. Grill over high heat until juices are bubbling.
