Herb-roasted, Garlic Butter Grilled Chesapeake Bay Oysters Recipe

Preparation and Grilling

1. 1

   Prepare the Garlic Butter

   In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in parsley, thyme, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste.

2. 2

   Prepare the Oysters

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Carefully shuck the oysters, retaining the liquor in the shell. Place the oysters on a grill-safe tray or directly on the grill grates.

3. 3

   Grill the Oysters

   Spoon a generous amount of the garlic herb butter over each oyster. Grill the oysters for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges of the oysters start to curl and they are cooked through.

4. 4

   Serve

   Remove the oysters from the grill, allow them to cool slightly, and serve warm with additional lemon wedges if desired.
