1
Prepare the Chipotle Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chipotle peppers. Stir well and cook for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Prepare the Oysters
Preheat your grill or wood-fired oven to a high temperature. Carefully shuck the Gulf oysters, keeping them on their half shells. Place the oysters on a heatproof tray or directly on the grill.
3
Assemble the Oysters
Drizzle the chipotle butter over each oyster, making sure to coat them well. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese and breadcrumbs on top of each oyster.
4
Grill the Oysters
Place the tray of oysters on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
5
Serve
Remove the oysters from the grill. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
