Preparation and cooking times
Prep 20 mins
- Make the Bloody Mary by mixing the tomato juice with the vodka and celery salt. Add the Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce to your liking (the spicier the better, I think). Finish with a splash of fino sherry.
- Shuck the oysters (see how here), remove from the shells and then clean the shells.
- To serve, put an oyster into each shell and spoon over a generous amount of the Bloody Mary mix. Garnish with a crisp parsley leaf, as well as a few deep-fried capers.
