Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh oysters
- 1 cup Vegan buttery spread
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, prepare the herbed butter.
In a medium bowl, combine the vegan buttery spread, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped chives, thyme leaves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Wash and scrub the oysters thoroughly under cold water to remove any mud and debris. Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife, leaving the oysters in the bottom shell.
Spoon about a teaspoon of the herbed butter mixture onto each oyster, ensuring it covers the oyster meat evenly.
Place the oysters directly on the grill, shell side down. Close the grill lid and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the oysters are just cooked through and the butter is bubbling.
Carefully remove the oysters from the grill using tongs. Allow them to cool slightly before serving as the shells will be very hot.
Serve the grilled oysters hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing of flavor.
