Alfresco Friday - Japanese Oysters
For this week’s edition of Alfresco Friday we have packed up a picnic and taken to the beach for a lazy evening on the sand watching the sunset. To keep things simple each of my friends have bought a variety of cheese platters and crackers to ensure our hunger remains at bay while the kids played beach cricket and made sandcastles.
Once we started to feel like something a little more substantial we moved on to our entree of delicious Japanese style oysters and a main of fresh cooked king prawns shelled on the beach and doused down with white wine and beer. Being the Alfresco Friday experts we all remembered the lemon and lime wedges for the prawns and beer.
When the last remnants of food and sun had disappeared we made our way home to ponder what a great start to the weekend e had just experienced.
Ingredients:
12 oysters natural and shucked
3 t/s Japanese pickled ginger
12 small dollops of Japanese mayonnaise (optional)
Method:
Distribute the ginger evenly amongst the oysters as desired. Add a small dollop of Japanese mayonnaise to the top if using it.
Tell me readers, what is your favourite food to eat on the beach.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Sounds very nice and relaxing.
Oh wow, what a fantastic picnic -so simple and flavoursome.
My favourite beach food would probably have to be cheese and crackers with some dried fruit -yum!
I dislike natural oysters but when you combine the pickled ginger WOW instant love affair has begun.
I am not one to sit down to 1/2 dozen oysters but the way the chef does these at the "Jaaning Tree" I could easily manage a plate! Thanks for the comments :)
I'm not one for ginger, but I have to admit that these were very nice.
I love pickled ginger and it goes so well with seafood. These oysters look delicious.
This looks CRAZY fresh!!! Your photos are impeccable, Julie. Love how it captures the mood/moment. Happy days! =D

I wish I had you for my mum when I was 5!
That cake would have been the talk of the town for the rest of the year - fantastic job.
A lot of your blogs will be interactively design and style that visitor share data to read your blog.
Thank you so much, it is going to be a wonderful surprise for my Mum, I wish everyone a great day with your own special people, those who helped you become who you are today.
Mum definitely deserves the hamper, because she is an amazing woman that has brought up 3 kids through tough times. She is the best mum a son could ask for.
She's had it tough, working hard
deserving much more than just a card
So let's raise a glass and toast her true
The best person in the world - Mum, that's you!
Thanks for the info on Rasa Malaysia's book. I used to visit her website for recipes but some time ago, igot a new PC and forgot to bookmark it!
You're too modest Julie! You did a great job with the cake! :D
Yellow strawberries and cream is just perfect for mum as a reward for putting up with two kids who were a pain in the bum.
I would have loved to have seen those martini glasses! Hope Miss A had a lovely time celebrating turning 5 :D
It shouldn't. It should go to me as whilst trying to make sure my mum, step-mum, MIL, Step-MIL, 3 x Grandmas are spoilt on Mother's Day, I always seem to get forgotten!
My poor old mum is battling to care for my step dad who has advanced Parkinsons. My real dad who has had a stroke still expects her to be there for him, my bro is going bankrupt and she lives two states away from her only gransdon. Her life has little joy- JUst wish for one thing nice to happen to her. We all love our mums, good luck to you all!
Perfect place to relax and forget about all the troubles we have in the city and just unwind ~ can't wait to go to somewhere like this hehe
