This recipe was impressed by my love for Salmon Penang from a Thai restaurant close to us. If you have not had Penang earlier than, it is mainly a spicy citrusy coconut broth served over rice over meat. After I revived some freezer salmon for dinner the opposite evening with some pantry staples, I noticed how scrumptious it might be with different seafood, on this case oysters. If you wish to make a press release in your subsequent date evening, strive these Thai-style oysters in a spicy coconut sauce.

A Penang sauce can get actually wealthy shortly so to counter the richness of this Thai sauce I selected a couple of lighter components (the way in which I eat extra garlic naan bread) utilizing gentle coconut milk and an entire lime to maintain the broth vivid.
In any case, one of the best a part of consuming oysters is absorbing all of the scrumptious sauce with the bread, on this case the naan.
The colour comes from the sambal I used for this recipe, though historically I exploit Thai crimson curry paste, however with the state of issues on the grocery retailer, I needed to make do with what I may discover.
The sambal wasn’t thick sufficient to emulsify correctly with the sauce so I added some tomato paste and voila! The right broth reveals itself.
After a couple of minutes of letting the broth simmer, I add my cleaned oysters to steam for a couple of minutes after which instantly place in a wide-rimmed bowl with a contemporary serving of cilantro, a lime, some paprika, sesame seeds and a dollop of full-fat yogurt as a garnish.
Actually, the oysters have been enjoyable to eat however we fortunately ditched the sauce with this straightforward selfmade garlic naan as the principle a part of our filling meal.
These Thai-style mussels have been impressed by Penang curry and are bursting with coconut, spiciness and acidity from all of the citrus juices.
