Chilli, Lime and Gin Marinated Oysters

Summer is the season for eating fresh oysters near the water. For casual occasions you can’t beat the old natural oyster with a squeeze of lemon. However if you’re entertaining you might want to spice things up a little. The fresh chilli and ice cold gin in this marinade should be more than enough to do the trick.
