Oyster With Garlic Recipe

Oyster with Garlic Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Oysters

   Begin by rinsing the fresh oysters under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush if necessary to clean the shells thoroughly.

2. 2

   Shuck the Oysters

   Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife. Hold the oyster in a towel with the flat side up, insert the knife into the hinge, and twist to open. Be careful not to spill the liquid inside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Garlic Butter

   Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

4. 4

   Add Seasoning

   Stir in the lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper into the garlic butter. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the shucked oysters on a baking tray. Spoon a generous amount of the garlic butter mixture over each oyster.

6. 6

   Add Parmesan Cheese

   Sprinkle a layer of grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each oyster, ensuring they are well-covered.

7. 7

   Bake the Oysters

   Transfer the baking tray to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the oysters start to curl.

8. 8

   Serve

   Remove the oysters from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
