  •  juice of lime 
  • 12  dozens oysters 
  • servings rock salt 
  • tablespoon butter unsalted

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • blender
  • butter knife

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
  2. In a small skillet melt the butter. Set aside to cool slightly
  3. In a mini food processor or blender purée the garlic, chipotles, adobo lime juice until smooth.
  4. With the machine running drizzle in the butter slowly until emulsified.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.

  7. Place the oysters, cup-side down, on the rock salt. Roast until the oysters begin to open, 8 to 10 minutes.
  8. Working over the bowl of the butter mixture (to capture the oyster liquor) remove the oysters from the oven and open them. Use a butter knife or similar tool inserted into the hinge end and pry them open with a twist. Separate the muscle at the top and the bottom. Discard the top shells.
