Oysters

Method

Preparation of Oysters

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the fresh oysters under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush to ensure they are clean.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully open the oysters using an oyster knife. Discard the top shell and place the oysters on a baking tray, keeping the bottom shell intact.

Making Creole Butter

  1. 3

    Melt Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it is fully liquefied.

  2. 4

    Add Ingredients

    Stir in the minced garlic, shallots, Creole seasoning, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and hot sauce into the melted butter. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 6

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 7

    Add Creole Butter to Oysters

    Spoon a generous amount of the creole butter mixture onto each oyster.

  3. 8

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle a tablespoon of grated Grana Padano cheese over each oyster.

  4. 9

    Grill the Oysters

    Place the oysters on the grill and close the lid. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the oysters are cooked through.

  5. 10

    Serve

    Remove the oysters from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges and extra hot sauce on the side.
