The perfect appetizer, super impressive made with simple ingredients and ready in less than thirty minutes! Cook these Chargrilled Oysters on the grill or simply broil in the oven.
Ingredients
1 stick butter, room temperature or melted
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tbsp lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 c. pecorino romano or parmigiano reggiano (Parmesan), grated
salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste
1 tbsp parsley, chopped
12 oysters on the half shell
1/2 c. pecorino romano or parmigiano reggiano (Parmesan), grated
2 tbsp parsley, chopped
How to make Chargrilled Oysters
Step 1: Combine the butter, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cheese, salt, pepper, cayenne, and parsley and set aside.
Step 2: On a preheated 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C, place the oysters and cook until the juice begins to bubble. Onto each oyster, spoon in about a tbsp of the butter mixture, and sprinkle with cheese. Continue to cook until the cheese is golden brown.
Step 3: Before serving, sprinkle the oysters with parsley. Enjoy with more butter, lemon wedges, hot sauce, and bread.
Note:
For this recipe, you can broil the oysters instead of grilling. Start by placing them on a baking sheet, then spoon in a tbsp of the butter mixture into each oyster and top with cheese. Place in a 400 degrees F oven and bake for about 5 minutes until the juices begin to bubble. Set the oven up and broil the cheese for approximately 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. You can add a couple of drops of liquid smoke to the butter mixture if you want a smoky char-grilled flavour.
