Fire-Roasted Thai Oysters

Cooking oysters in a wood-fired pizza oven like the Gozney Roccbox brings out an incredible smoky depth while keeping their natural briny sweetness intact. These Thai-inspired oysters are topped with a savory and aromatic blend of soy sauce, seasoned rice wine, fresh cilantro, chopped spring onions, and garlic, then fire-roasted to perfection. This recipe is fast, easy, and packed with bold flavors.

Ingredients

• 12 fresh oysters, shucked with bottom shells intact

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons seasoned rice wine

• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

• 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, torn or chopped

• 1 spring onions, finely chopped

• lime (optional, for topping)

• Dried Seaweed (optional, for scooping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Pizza Oven: Fire up the Gozney Roccbox (or similar wood-fired pizza oven) and let it reach approximately 750°F.

2. Prepare the Oysters: Place the freshly shucked oysters on a heat-resistant tray or directly on a cast iron pan that fits inside the oven.

3. Make the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, seasoned rice wine, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and spring onions.

4. Top the Oysters: Spoon a small amount of the mixture over each oyster, ensuring an even coating.

5. Fire-Roast the Oysters: Carefully place the tray or pan in the pizza oven. Let the oysters cook for about 2–3 minutes, or until the edges start to curl and the sauce is bubbling.

6. Serve Immediately: Remove from the oven and serve hot. Garnish with extra cilantro or a squeeze of fresh lime if desired. If texture is an issue with oysters, try serving these in dried seaweed (similar to how you would with nachos) for an added crunch.

Tips

• Keep a close eye on the oysters as they cook quickly at high heat.

• Use a heatproof glove and a sturdy tray for easy handling.

• Experiment with adding a touch of chili flakes or sesame oil for extra depth.

• Serve with a cold beer or a crisp white wine for the perfect pairing.
