Namibian oysters on ice with lemon rind salsa
Ingredients
- 3 lemons

Instructions
Pour boiling water over the lemons. Dry them and chop the whole lemons into small pieces. Set aside until needed.
Just before serving, fill small bowls with the ice. Open the oysters, discarding the top shell. Loosen the oysters from the shell and place a shell on top of the ice.
