Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh oysters (in the shell)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic (finely minced)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Pecorino Romano cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 piece Lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 1 loaf French bread (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to high heat (approximately 450°F).
Scrub and rinse the oysters under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Carefully shuck the oysters, retaining as much liquid ('liquor') as possible in the shell. Arrange them on a baking sheet or a heat-safe tray for easy transport to the grill.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, taking care not to brown the garlic. Remove from heat.
Spoon a liberal amount of the butter mixture onto each oyster in the shell, ensuring the garlic is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle each oyster generously with the grated Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses.
Transfer the oysters carefully to the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and golden brown. The oyster edges should begin to curl slightly.
Using tongs, carefully remove the oysters from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the chargrilled oysters with fresh parsley and serve immediately with slices of French bread for soaking up the buttery sauce.
