1
Prepare the Oysters
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a grill-safe tray or directly on the grill grates.
2
Make the Butter Mixture
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and remove from heat.
3
Top the Oysters
Spoon the garlic butter mixture over each oyster. Then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top of the oysters.
4
Grill the Oysters
Place the oysters on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
5
Finishing Touches
Remove the oysters from the grill and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
