Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 lemons, cut in half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup freshly grated aged Parmesan
3/4 cup freshly grated aged Romano
3 dozen large oysters on the half-shell
1 loaf French bread, cut in half lengthwise
Directions
- Preheat a grill to high heat.
- Combine the butter, garlic, the juice from the lemons and a few pinches of salt and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter melts. Stir together the parsley, Parmesan and Romano in a medium bowl.
- Arrange the oyster shells on the grill grate. Spoon the butter mixture over the oysters. Add the bread to the grill cut-side down and cook until grill marks appear, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the bread from the grill. Cover the grill with the lid and cook until the oysters begin to reduce in size, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Spoon the parsley mixture over each oyster, cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and the oysters are cooked to desired doneness, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove the oysters to a serving platter. Serve immediately with the bread.
