ingredients
- 12 Zeeland Creuse or Grevelingen oysters from Prins & Dingemanse
- ½ red chili pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 cm ginger, peeled and grated
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
instructions
First, the oysters need to be opened. Protect the hand holding the oyster well. This can be done with an oyster glove, but a tea towel works just fine. Hold the flat side of the oyster up and the hinge towards you. An oyster is best opened with an oyster knife. Insert it into the hinge. Pry gently with a twisting wrist motion. Once the oyster opens, cut the adductor muscle by scraping the knife along the flat side. Cut the oyster loose from the bottom and turn it over. This is not strictly necessary, but it makes for a nicer presentation.
Put the spring onion, ginger, and red pepper in a bowl. Mix with the lime juice and soy sauce. Spoon some vinaigrette onto each oyster or serve the dressing in a bowl on the side.
Classic vinaigrette:
Mix 1 shallot and the red wine vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Mexican vinaigrette:
Mix 1 shallot with the jalapeño peppers, lime juice, and olive oil in a bowl. Add the coriander and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon some vinaigrette onto each oyster or serve the dressings in a bowl on the side, so everyone can add vinaigrette themselves.

Facts about Prince
How do I cook my mussels?
Put the vegetables together with a splash of wine or beer in a large pot. Place the mussels on top. Sprinkle with pepper and bring to a boil with the lid closed. Shake the mussels during cooking. When the shells are all open after about 5-8 minutes, the mussels are cooked. Serve them with baguette or fries and sauces of your choice. Check the traditional recipe for more information.
Can you freeze fresh mussels?
Fresh mussels in the shell should never be frozen. However, if you have cooked the mussels and can't eat them all, you can freeze the mussel meat after removing it from the shell. You can then add the mussels to soup or salad later, or fry them up nicely with some onion.
