Enlarge Photo | instructions for steaming oysters of all types
Servings: 2 |
| Ingredients: oysters in the shell, 12-18 per person. 2 cups water or beer. 1/2 stick butter 1/2 cup brown vinegar found at http://www.fresh-seafood.net/ |
|
| Prep Notes: This recipe is flexible. Depending on size, 24-36 oysters will feed 2 adults. The most important factor is having the correct amount of water and oysters in the steamer. |
|
| Instructions: Add about 2 cups of water or beer, or enough to be 3/4 inch deep in the steamer. Boil on high heat about 5 minutes or until the steam rolls out when the lid is opened slightly. Add oysters and an additional cup or so of water and cover, heating on medium heat. Steam oysters about 5-10 minutes, or until the majority of the oysters are open. Do not overcook. Serve hot, with bowls of melted butter and vinegar as condiments. |
