Ingredients

10 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 tablespoons minced parsley leaves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, optional
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
24 shucked oysters, half of each shell reserved and washed

Directions

In a bowl combine all ingredients except the oysters and mix thoroughly to combine. Transfer butter mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and roll up to form a tight log and freeze until firm.

Preheat a grill to high.

Place the washed oyster shells on a baking sheet and top each shell with 1 oyster. Remove the butter from the freezer and unwrap. Slice the butter into 24 rounds and place 1 round on top of each oyster. Place the oysters on the preheated grill and cook until the oysters are just cooked through, curled around the edges and the butter is melted and bubbly, 4 to 6 minutes.

Serve immediately.

Delicious Treat
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We attended a BBQ with friends on the 4th of July, and the hostess made these oysters. They were absolutely wonderful! I... think the butter mixture would be tasty on fresh fish (salmon, mahi-mahi, snapper). I can't wait to make this recipe at our home with friends!!! Definitely a keeper. Read more

sophisticated grilled oysters
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

while schucking the oysters was a lot of work, they were so delicious it was worth the effort. We also discovered that we... could skip the shucking and let the oysters open on their own on the grill and add the dressing then with very little loss of flavor. yum.Read more
