Emeril's Tequila-Oyster Shooters Shooter #2: Shooter #3:
Kosher salt, for coating the glass rims
1 dozen oysters, freshly shucked, with their liquor
1 cup chilled fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
12 ounces tequila
Ice
Directions:
1. Moisten the rims of 12 shot glasses with water, then dip each glass in kosher salt to coat the rims. Put an oyster into each shot glass.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, red bell pepper, shallots, cilantro, parsley, and chives. Pour 1 tablespoon of the lime juice mixture into each of the 12 shot glasses over the oysters.
3. Pour the tequila into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes and shake to chill the tequila. Add about 2 tablespoons of tequila to each of the shot glasses. Serve immediately.
How good does this look?! Well, if you like tequila & oysters, it looks reaally effin good. I've never shucked an oyster (or anything else for that matter) but at this point, I'm ready to throw myself entirely into the world of oysters.
Paula's Oyster Shooters
A recipe of Paula Deen's looked great too, a more traditional and simplistic take.
Shooter #1:
1 raw oyster
1 teaspoon cocktail sauce
1 lemon wedge
1 raw oyster
1 teaspoon cocktail sauce
1 lemon wedge
Vodka
1 raw oyster
Tomato juice
Hot sauce
Lemon wedge
1. Add oyster to shot glass, place cocktail sauce on top then squeeze lemon juice over top.
2. Place oyster in shot glass, top with desired amount of vodka, add cocktail sauce and squeeze lemon over top.
3. Place oyster in a glass, cover with tomato juice, top with hot sauce and squeeze lemon over top.
I think #2 would be my personal fav as I have an affinity towards cocktail sauce & alcohol.
Freshly shucked oyster
Prepared spicy Bloody Mary mix
Tiny triangle lime, for garnish
Celery salt, for garnish
Cayenne pepper, for garnish
1. Pour vodka in a square shot glass or a molded ice glass just until it covers the bottom. Add 1 oyster to the glass and top off with spicy Bloody Mary mix. Garnish with lime.
You can make a spiced rim on the glass by dipping the rim into water and then dipping it into celery salt and cayenne. I've never truly experienced a bloody mary. They just never looked good enough to me to try, but put this way, I just may have to do a little experimenting!
