Oysters with Grapefruit Granita Recipe
Oysters with Grapefruit Granita
Makes 1 dozen
Slightly sweet citrus granita is a refreshing accompaniment for oysters on the half shell. If you are unsure about what type of oysters to get, ask our fishmongers for a seasonal recommendation—they are happy to shuck them for you, too!
Ingredients:
- 12 small oysters, freshly shucked*
- 1 cup grapefruit juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1/4 cup crushed fried onions, such as French’s or Lars Own
- OPTIONAL:
- Mint leaves, thinly sliced
Directions:
- Combine grapefruit juice, sugar, and salt in medium bowl or sealed jar. Vigorously whisk or shake together to combine. Pour into a shallow pan and freeze for one hour.
- Remove partially frozen mixture and scrape with a fork to make grated ice. Return to freezer for two hours, taking it out and scraping with a fork every 30 minutes or so.
- Just before serving, spoon granita over each oyster. Sprinkle with crushed fried onions and garnish with mint.
- Chef's Note:
- Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.
