Char Grilled Oysters



This is one of my family's favorites. Oysters chargilled over a charcoal fire with lots of garlic, butter and cheese. Make sure you have lots of good bread to eat with them soak up the buttery goodness in the shells.

1 pint freshly shucked oysters
1 1/2 sticks butter softened
4 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan/Romano cheese blend
3 or 4 T. freshly chopped parsley

Wash and clean oyster shells. Prepare your charcoal fire in the grill and wait (impatiently) for the fire to be ready!

Depending on the size of the oysters, place either one or two in each shell. 

Mix garlic into the softened butter and place a teaspoon or so on each oyster. Carefully place oysters shells onto the grill and cook for a few minutes until the butter is melted and the edges of the oysters begin to curl. 

Top with grated cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.
