1
Clean the Oysters
Under cold running water, scrub the oyster shells with a brush to remove any dirt or sand. Rinse thoroughly and set aside.
2
Prepare Flavoring Ingredients
Finely chop the garlic and parsley. Slice the lemon into wedges for serving.

3
Set Up Steamer
Fill a pot with about 1 inch of water and place a steaming basket or a heat-safe plate inside. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
4
Steam the Oysters
Once the water is boiling, carefully place the cleaned oysters in the steaming basket or on the plate. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the oysters for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shells open.
5
Prepare Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
6
Serve the Oysters
Once the oysters are opened, carefully remove them from the pot. Drizzle the garlic butter over the oysters and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
