1
Prepare the Grill
Preheat your wood-fired grill to a medium-high temperature, ensuring that the wood is burning well and producing a steady heat.
2
Make the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper.
3
Prepare the Oysters
Carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a grill-safe platter or directly on the grill grates. Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over each oyster.
4
Add Cheese and Herbs
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the oysters.
5
Grill the Oysters
Place the platter on the grill and cook the oysters for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the oysters are cooked through.
6
Serve
Remove the oysters from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot with additional lemon wedges and hot sauce on the side.
