1
Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
2
Mix in Additional Ingredients
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.
3
Clean the Oysters
Rinse the fresh oysters under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush if necessary.

4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
5
Place Oysters on the Grill
Carefully place the cleaned oysters on the grill, cup side down. This helps to retain their juices.
6
Add Garlic Butter
Spoon a generous amount of garlic butter over each oyster.
7
Grill the Oysters
Close the grill lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oysters are fully cooked and the edges begin to curl.
8
Serve
Remove the oysters from the grill using tongs. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
