Oysters and Toppings

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a baking tray, keeping the oyster liquor intact.

  2. 2

    Make the Garlic Butter Mixture

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley, lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Top the Oysters

    Spoon the garlic butter mixture generously over each oyster. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of cayenne pepper on top.

  4. 4

    Charbroil the Oysters

    Preheat the grill or broiler to high heat. Place the baking tray with oysters on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

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