Title: Raw Oysters w/Grilled Pineapple & Thai Basil
Categories: Seafood, Fruits, Herbs, Chilies, Vegetables
Yield: 12 servings

2 tb Granulated sugar
1 ts Plus 1/8 ts Asian fish sauce
- divided
1/2 ts Fresh lime juice
Lime wedges for squeezing
1 tb Minced shallot; divided
1 sl Fresh pineapple; 1/4" thick
- (4 1/2 oz.), skin cut away
1/4 ts Extra-virgin olive oil
1 Dozen medium, sweet oysters
Fine chopped fresh Thai
- basil
Very finely minced Thai
- chile; garnish

In a medium bowl, add the sugar, fish sauce, lime juice,
and 1 teaspoon of the shallot; whisk well until the
mixture is thick and syrupy.

Preheat a grill pan or grill to high heat. Brush both
sides of the pineapple slice with some of the sugar
mixture. Transfer to the preheated grill and let cook
until well-charred, about 3 minutes per side.

Remove the pineapple slice to a cutting board and finely
dice it. Transfer to a small bowl and add the olive oil;
stir well.

Shuck the oysters and, using an oyster knife, detach the
meat from the bottom of the shell, reserving the liquid.

Place the oysters on a bed of coarse sea salt or crushed
ice to stabilize them. Add at least 2 small cubes of
pineapple to each, or more to taste. Top each oyster
with a generous pinch of Thai basil leaves, a few pieces
of shallot, and a sliver of Thai chile. Serve
immediately with lime wedges.
