Ingredients
- 6 oyster big, on the half shell
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped leaves
- paprika to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, salted
- lemon optional, wedges
Instructions
- Shuck the oysters and set aside.
- Top the oysters with the chopped garlic and parsley leaves, and season with paprika to taste. Add some melted butter to each oyster.
- Grill on an outdoor grill for about 5-8 minutes or until they are cooked. Serve immediately. You can add a squirt of lemon juice before eating.
Notes
- Use fresh oysters that are tightly closed – buy them on the day they are harvested.
- Carefully shuck them, keeping the juices in the shell – the secret trick about shucking oysters is to have the “flatter” side of the oyster facing you, then start at the hinge of the oyster (the pointed end of the oyster). Insert an oyster knife or a small knife at the hinge, twist the knife a few times and pop the shell open.
- Add flavor with garlic butter, herbs, and spices before grilling. Add a squirt of fresh lemon juice before serving.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill shell-side down for 5-8 minutes and they’re cooked through.
- If you bake these oysters, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes.
