Oysters and Watermelon

Method

Preparation and Grilling

  1. 1

    Prepare the Watermelon

    Cut the watermelon into thick slices and then into cubes. Toss with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Grill the Watermelon

    Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the seasoned watermelon cubes on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally until grill marks appear. Remove from grill and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Oysters

    Shuck the oysters carefully, leaving them in their shells. Discard any broken shells and rinse the oysters under cold water to clean.

  4. 4

    Grill the Oysters

    Place the oysters on the grill for about 3-5 minutes, or until the edges curl slightly and they are heated through.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Arrange the grilled oysters on a serving plate. Drizzle with chili oil and top with grilled watermelon cubes. Garnish with fresh herbs.
