Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces medium oysters, shucked on the half shell
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Arrange the shucked oysters on the prepared baking sheet, carefully ensuring they are level to avoid spilling the butter mixture.
Spoon the prepared garlic Parmesan butter evenly over each oyster.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the oysters are cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Garnish each oyster with a sprinkle of additional chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
