Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup parsley, leaves only, roughly chopped
1-2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper
2 dozen Beau Soleil oysters
Directions
- Make the garlic-parsley butter: place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat your grill. You can either shuck your oysters before grilling, or grill them for 1 minute to slightly open the oyster, then shuck them and continue grilling
- For shucked oysters: place the oysters directly on the grill or on a baking sheet or cast iron pan layered with rock salt to keep them stable. Place 2 teaspoons of garlic parsley butter on each oyster, then cover the grill and cook for about 3 minutes, until the liquid is bubbling. Carefully remove the oysters and place on a seaweed or rock salt lined platter
- For unshucked oysters: place the oysters directly on the grill or on a baking sheet or cast iron pan layered with rock salt to keep them stable. Cover the grill and cook for 1 minute to slightly open them. Carefully remove, and wearing oven mitts, shuck the oysters, keeping as much oyster liquor as possible. Place 2 teaspoons of garlic parsley butter on each oyster, then place back on the baking sheet or cast iron pan, cover the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Carefully remove the oysters and place on a seaweed or rock salt lined platter.
- For broiled oysters: place an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat broiler. Place the oysters directly on a baking sheet or cast iron pan layered with rock salt to keep them stable. Place 2 teaspoons of garlic parsley butter on each oyster, then place back on the baking sheet or cast iron pan, cover the grill and cook for 3 minutes, until the liquid is bubbling. Carefully remove the oysters and serve.
