This recipe gives these succulent shellfish a lot of sabor.

Ingredients

1/2 pound plum tomatoes, seeded, diced
1/4 large white onion chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon of garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 chipotle chili chopped or 2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo sauce12 fresh oysters, shucked, left on half shell

Preparation

Combine first 7 ingredients in medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand 30 minutes.

Preheat broiler. Arrange oysters on broiler-proof pan. Spoon salsa over oysters, dividing evenly. Broil until heated through, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook oysters as they will become rubbery and chewy. When the edges begin to curl, they’ve had enough heat.

¡Buen Provecho!
