Oysters and Butter
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Prepare the Creole Butter
In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Prepare the Oysters
Preheat your broiler to high. Carefully shuck the oysters, keeping them in their half shells. Place the oysters on a broiler-safe tray.
Add the Butter
Spoon a generous amount of the Creole butter mixture onto each oyster, making sure to cover them well.
Broil the Oysters
Place the tray with oysters under the broiler. Broil for about 3-5 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling and the oysters are cooked through. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Serve
Remove the oysters from the broiler and let them cool slightly. Serve hot with grilled lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the oysters.
