Oysters and Butter

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a tray to catch any juices.

  2. 2

    Make the Butter Mixture

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined and remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Oysters

    Spoon a small amount of the butter mixture onto each oyster. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Place the oysters on the grill, and close the lid. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the oysters from the grill and let cool slightly. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
