Ingredients

  • 2 Dozen Fresh Oysters on the half shell
  • ½ Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Creole Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Parsley
  • 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • Chives optional
  • Lemon Wedges optional

Instructions

  • Light your grill. If using a gas grill allow the temperature to settle at med-high. If using charcoal you'll want to add the oysters to cook once the coals have turned white and stopped smoking.
  • After opening the oyster shells lay the oysters out on a tray. Try to preserve some of the juice (liquor) inside if they have any.
    2 Dozen Fresh Oysters
  • In a bowl melt the butter, add the garlic, black pepper, creole seasoning and chopped parsley and stir until combined.
    ½ Cup Unsalted Butter, 2 Tablespoons Garlic, 1 teaspoon Black Pepper, ½ teaspoon Creole Seasoning, 2 teaspoons Fresh Parsley
  • Spoon evenly onto each oyster.
  • Place the oysters on the grill once ready and cook for 5 minutes. You'll notice the outer edges start to bubble.
  • At this point add a pinch of parmesan cheese to each oyster and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
    1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
  • Remove from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges and hot sauce.

Notes

When opening your oysters, if they are fresh enough and you don't mind doing so try one of them (or try the juice inside) to check for saltiness. If they're not salty add more seasoning to the butter mixture.
