1
Clean the Oysters
Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a brush if necessary.
2
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).

3
Make the Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but do not let it brown. Stir in fresh chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.

4
Grill the Oysters
Place the cleaned oysters on the grill, cupped side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes or until the oysters begin to open. Discard any oysters that do not open.
5
Add Garlic Butter
Using a spoon, carefully pour the garlic butter sauce over each oyster. Top with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes.
6
Complete the Grilling
Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

7
Serve the Oysters
Carefully remove the oysters from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
