Aphrodesi’hacks’
Buy the freshest raw oysters you can find
A Bushel of Oysters is great for a party, but you can also buy a 1/2 bushel and cut this recipe in half
Preheat the Oysters on the grill for at least 5 minutes- makes it easier to shuck the oysters
Use a thick protective heat -resistant oven or grill glove or mitt, and a quality Oyster shucking knife. Look out for the edges of oysters – they can be sharp. Good tools make this process safer and easier.
Allow the Mother Shucking sauce mixture to cool and get thick -mix a second time to be sure everything is emulsified or fully blended
Make your Oysters spicier with more Pepper Flakes, a touch of hot sauce, or by using Chorizo sausage
Be careful removing the oysters from the grill and placing the hot shells a tray. Seve and enjoy.
Mother Shuckers make a great appetizer for a seafood dinner, or any other meal you want to make special.
