1
Prepare the Citrus Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the finely chopped shallot and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the shallot becomes translucent.
2
Add Citrus
Stir in the lemon juice and orange juice into the melted butter mixture, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

3
Prepare the Grill
Preheat your wood-fired grill to a high temperature. Make sure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
4
Place the Oysters
Carefully shuck the oysters or leave them in their shells. Place them on the grill, ensuring they are stable and won't tip over.
5
Add Citrus Butter
Spoon a generous amount of the prepared citrus butter onto each oyster.
6
Grill
Close the grill lid and cook the oysters for about 5-7 minutes or until the shells start to open and the butter is bubbling.
7
Serve
Remove the oysters from the grill and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot!
