Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 400°F.

  4. Dry the meat by patting between 2 paper towel sheets.
  5. Whisk the mayonnaise, sesame oil, miso paste and peppers together.
  6. Set aside.
  7. Place the shells on a baking sheet or arrange them in a shallow pan as level as you can.
  8. Place oysters into the shell and cover with thick layer of mayonnaise mixture.
  9. Place in the oven on the top rack and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  10. The tops should be a nice dark brown when done.
  11. Remove oysters from the oven, placing about 1/2 teaspoon of oroshi and green onions to garnish.
