- 8 ounces watermelon (about 1/2 small), peeled and cut into cubes (1 1/2 cups) 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons) Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 12 fresh oysters, preferably Blue Point, scrubbed well Crushed ice cubes Garnish: thin strips lemon zest
Directions
Puree watermelon in a blender until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a 5-by-9-inch nonreactive loaf pan; discard solids. Stir in lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze until firm, about 3 hours.
Scrape granita with a fork until fluffy. Freeze again while shucking oysters.
