Instant Pot Fresh Steamed Oysters with Spicy Butter
This steamed oysters recipe makes the shellfish easy to open up and tender without any rubbery texture. I've made baked, grilled, steamed oysters on the stovetop, and even air-fried oysters, but steaming in the Instant Pot is hands down the best method.
Chili Crisp Mayo
This chili crisp mayo has just two ingredients. With your favorite mayo and a spoonful (or two) of chili crisp, you can whip up a flavorful topping that adds a delicious kick and a bit of texture to almost anything. Use it on sandwiches, burgers, seared tuna, or use as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken. For extra spicy, add an additional tablespoon of chili crisp.
Perfect and Delicious Royal Icing
