Adding a little spice to oysters is rather a nice way to help them down, especially with a glass of sherry. However, I wouldn't interfere with the pureness of natives and recommend sticking to rock oysters for this recipe.
8 oysters, shucked
For the dressing
1 spring onion, finely chopped
1 small red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
3cm cucumber, halved, seeded and finely chopped with the skin on
1tbsp coriander, finely chopped
The juice of 1 lime
1tbsp red wine vinegar
Combine all of the ingredients for the dressing and transfer to a small bowl for serving. You can either dress the oysters with the dressing or let your guests help themselves.
