Elevate your next dinner party or seafood platter with this professional-grade oyster shooter. The bright, umami-rich notes of our Chef Kaz Tomato Ponzu provide a modern twist on the classic cocktail sauce, allowing the natural sweetness of the fresh oyster to shine through. It’s a 1-minute assembly for a 5-star experience.
Prep time: 1 minute
Servings: Per shooter
Ingredients
-
1 Freshly Shucked Oyster (retaining as much natural "liquor" as possible)
-
1–2 tbsp Chef Kaz Tomato Ponzu
-
Optional Toppings: A pinch of chopped chives, a slice of lemon, a small dollop of wasabi, or a few grains of tobiko (flying fish roe) for a pop of texture.
Instructions
-
The Vessel: Place one freshly shucked oyster into a chilled "fancy" glass or a traditional tall shot glass.
-
The Infusion: Pour Chef Kaz Tomato Ponzu over the oyster until it is just submerged. The acidity of the ponzu will slightly "awaken" the flavor of the brine.
-
The Garnish: Add your optional toppings.
-
The Service: Serve immediately on a bed of crushed ice or a chilled stone coaster.
Chef’s Note
Always chill your glassware and your Tomato Ponzu before serving. When the cold ponzu hits the cold oyster, the flavors are crisp, clean, and incredibly refreshing."
