Chorizo Chipotle Oysters Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Chipotle Bourbon Butter

   In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chopped chipotle peppers, bourbon, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Chorizo

   In a skillet, cook the house-made chorizo over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

3. 3

   Prepare the Oysters

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Carefully shuck the oysters, leaving the meat in the bottom shell. Place oysters on a grill-safe tray.

4. 4

   Assemble and Grill

   Top each shucked oyster with a spoonful of cooked chorizo and drizzle with chipotle bourbon butter. Grill the oysters for 5-7 minutes, until the edges start to curl and they are heated through.

5. 5

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove the oysters from the grill and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy warm.
