Paper Chef #12 - A Celebration Tribute

As a celebration tribute to participants of Paper Chef #12, here are oyster shooters with orange granita and basil seeds sweentened with Australian Wild Hibiscus syrup. The basil seeds resemble caviar. Serve the shooters seasoned with fish sauce (or worcestershire), and garnished with lambs ear lettuce to complete the four secret ingredients of orange, basil, fish sauce and lamb. As shown here, mountian pepper leaves substitute for the lambs ear lettuce .
