Method

Raw Oysters Preparation

  1. 1

    Shucking the Oysters

    Using a clean oyster knife, shuck the oysters carefully. Insert the knife into the hinge of the oyster and twist to open the shell. Remove the top shell and loosen the oyster from the bottom shell while keeping it in the shell.

  2. 2

    Serving the Raw Oysters

    Place the shucked oysters on a platter filled with crushed ice. Serve with lemon wedges, mignonette sauce, and hot sauce on the side for dipping.

Chargrilled Oysters Preparation

  1. 3

    Preparing the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Making the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley, lemon juice, and black pepper.

  3. 5

    Grilling the Oysters

    Place the shucked oysters on the grill. Spoon the garlic butter mixture over each oyster and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Close the grill lid and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  4. 6

    Serving the Chargrilled Oysters

    Remove the oysters from the grill using tongs. Serve hot with additional lemon wedges and your choice of hot sauce.
