Recipe: Malibu oysters

Ingredients
  • 8 large oysters, barbecue size
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

Preheat a grill to high.

Shuck the oysters and set aside in the refrigerator or on ice, keeping them in the shell.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, white vinegar, Parmesan, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add cayenne and white pepper, to taste. Stir to combine, and then stir in the fried potato sticks.

In a small saute pan, add the olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and red onions and saute for 3 minutes, and then add the spinach and allow to wilt. Adjust seasoning, to taste.
