For Oysters:
4.
Rinse and scrub oysters well. Using a oyster knife, shuck the oysters in the following manner. Cover your hand with a cloth or thick glove, and grip the shelled oyster in your palm. Insert the knife point next to the hinge and twist the knife to pry the shell open. Using the knife, cut the muscle away from the top half and discard the top shell. Run the knife underneath the oyster to detach it, but leave the oyster in its shell.
5.
Place the banana leaf on a serving platter; arrange the oysters attractively on the platter. Drizzle tomato oil over the oysters and top with sliced jalapenos. Serve immediately.
