1
Prepare the Oysters
Preheat your grill or oven to high heat. Carefully shuck the oysters, leaving them on the half shell. Arrange them on a heat-safe tray or directly on the grill grates.
2
Make the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the crushed red pepper and chopped parsley.
3
Assemble the Oysters
Spoon a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture over each oyster. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
4
Char the Oysters
Place the tray of oysters on the grill or in the oven. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the oysters are slightly charred.
5
Serve
Remove the oysters from the grill/oven and serve immediately with a side of soppin bread for dipping.
