Char-grilled Oysters * Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Creole Butter

   In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cayenne pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Oysters

   Carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a grill-safe tray or directly on the grill grates. Ensure the oysters are level to hold the butter.

3. 3

   Top with Creole Butter

   Spoon a generous amount of the prepared Creole butter mixture over each oyster.

4. 4

   Grill the Oysters

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the tray of oysters on the grill and close the lid. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oysters are cooked through and the butter is bubbling.

5. 5

   Add Pecorino Cheese

   Sprinkle the grated pecorino cheese over the oysters during the last minute of grilling, allowing it to melt slightly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove the oysters from the grill and serve immediately with sliced baguette for dipping into the melted butter and enjoying with the oysters.
