100 g parmesan cheese shavings
1 cucumber, sliced thinly
24 fresh oysters in half shell
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon lemon thyme
1/2 cup rice flour
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Cracked black pepper

Arrange rocket (arugula), shallots, parmesan and cucumber on serving plates. Remove oysters from shells and set aside.

Heat butter, oil and lemon thyme in a small frypan over medium heat.

Press both sides of oyster lightly into flour and shake away any excess flour.

Sear oysters in hot butter mixture for 5 seconds on each side. Place oysters on rocket salad. Add lemon juice and pepper to pan and simmer for 1 minute.

Pour pan juices over salad as a dressing and serve immediately.
