1
Clean the Oysters
Rinse the oysters under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush to ensure they are clean.
2
Prepare the Grill
Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. If using charcoal, allow the coals to reach a uniform heat before placing the oysters on the grill.

3
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
4
Add the Ingredients
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

5
Grill the Oysters
Place the cleaned oysters on the grill, cup side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shells start to open.
6
Add the Garlic Butter Sauce
Carefully spoon the garlic butter sauce over each oyster as they begin to open.
7
Top with Cheese and Paprika
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and paprika over the oysters. Close the grill lid and continue to grill for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8
Serve
Remove the oysters from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
