Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your charbroiler or grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the oysters, retaining the oyster and its liquor in the shell. Discard the top shell.

  3. 3

    Make the Butter Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Top the Oysters

    Spoon a generous amount of the butter mixture onto each oyster in its shell, ensuring they are well-covered.

  5. 5

    Grill the Oysters

    Place the oysters on the grill, shell side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the butter is bubbling and the cheese is melted.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the oysters from the grill, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
