If you don’t own some decorative oyster plates, you should.  My oyster plates are green tone Longchamp Majolica oyster plates and they are fun to use. With six crevasses in the shape of shells, each crevasse can showcase a culinary delicacy. Be it oysters, scallops, langoustines, shrimp, crawfish or mussels it is a treat to see the seafood highlighted. I like to put a dollop of stuffing in the six crevasses and then top each with a seafood choice. Serve your oyster plate special with toasted garlic bread or my favorite which is French bread, diagonally sliced, topped with butter and Parmesan cheese. Broil this for just a few seconds and it is the perfect accompaniment! Plate-up and welcome your friends. The sea is calling. © Kelly McBride Loft
