1
Prepare the Toppings
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces. Finely chop the jalapeno pepper (remove seeds for less heat) and mince the garlic.
2
Prepare the Butter Mixture
In the same skillet with bacon drippings, add butter, minced garlic, and chopped jalapeno. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice and parsley. Season with black pepper.
3
Prepare the Oysters
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the oysters on the grill for 5-7 minutes until they start to open.
4
Add the Toppings
Carefully remove the oysters from the grill. Spoon the butter mixture over each oyster and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
5
Final Grill
Return the topped oysters to the grill for an additional 3-5 minutes until the butter is bubbling and the oysters are fully cooked.
6
Serve
Remove from grill, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
