How to Make Thai Barbecued Oysters

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Sprinkle a layer of approximately 1 cup of rock salt in a 15x10x1-inch jellyroll pan.
  3. Scrub 1.5 pounds of fresh oysters thoroughly and carefully open them using an oyster knife, discarding the top shells. Reserve the liquor.
  4. Arrange the oysters, cup-side up, over the rock salt in the prepared pan.
  5. Brush the oysters generously with 1/4 cup of your favorite Thai-inspired BBQ sauce (or make your own!).
  6. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  7. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oyster liquor and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the breadcrumb mixture; stir well to combine.
  8. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the oysters.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the oysters are cooked through and the edges begin to curl and brown. The internal temperature of the oyster should reach 185-190°F (85-88°C).
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
