1
Clean the Oysters
Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a scrub brush to clean the shells thoroughly.
2
Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully pry open each oyster, starting from the hinge. Discard the top shell and keep the oyster in its bottom shell.

3
Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in chopped parsley, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.

4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
5
Grill the Oysters
Place the shucked oysters on the grill, flat side up. Spoon the garlic butter mixture generously over each oyster. Close the grill lid and cook for 5-7 minutes until the oysters are cooked through and the edges are curled.
6
Serve
Remove the oysters from the grill using tongs. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
