Barbecued Oysters With Curry Sauce
Shuck oysters, drain off the oyster liquid into a small bowl and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine butter, shallot, garlic, curry powder, cayenne (if using) and cream.
Heat mixture over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in reserved oyster liquid and season with pepper.
When ready to cook, place oysters on the half shell on a preheated grill. Spoon 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) curry sauce over each oyster. Add a squeeze of lemon and garnish with cilantro. Grill until the edges of the oyster flesh start to curl, about 4 minutes.
Remove oysters from the grill and serve immediately on a bed of coarse sea salt.
