Serves 6 as an appetizer, 3-4 as a main course
1 cup
mayonnaise (commercially prepared)
240 ml
1 Tbsp.
prepared wasabi paste
15 ml
24
freshly shucked oysters on the half shell
24
1 Tbsp.
toasted sesame seeds
15 ml
2
green onions, finely chopped
2
Combine the mayonnaise and wasabi paste until well
blended.
Choose a large, rimmed pan to cook the oysters on. Crumple a piece of
tinfoil twice as large as the pan you are using to broil the oysters in
and then stretch it out to fit the pan. You want the little hills and
valleys of tinfoil to hold the oysters securely, so don't smooth it out.
Spread about 1 tsp. (5 ml) of the paste over each oyster, sprinkle with
the sesame seeds and arrange on the pan. The oysters may be prepared up
to an hour in advance. Cover and refrigerate.
Preheat the broiler. Broil the oysters until the mayonnaise picks up brown
spots, 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with the green onion and serve on the half
shell.
