1
Shuck the Oysters
Carefully shuck the fresh oysters and place them on a tray. Make sure to keep the oyster liquor (the natural juice) in the shells.
2
Prepare the Butter Mixture
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.
3
Combine Ingredients
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper into the melted butter mixture. Mix well until combined.

4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
5
Fill the Oysters
Using a spoon, carefully fill each shucked oyster shell with the prepared butter mixture, making sure to cover each oyster generously.
6
Grill the Oysters
Place the filled oysters on the grill, directly over the heat. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the oysters are cooked through.
7
Serve
Remove the oysters from the grill and let them cool for a minute. Serve hot, garnished with extra chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
