New Orleans Style Chargrilled Oysters
There is nothing quite like a chargrilled oyster. A great gateway to this delicacy, the smoke and char adds to the delicate, briny flavor of the oyster. Add some cheese and you are on a trip to flavor town.

Ingredients
- 12 Large Fresh Oysters We prefer Blue Point
- 4 oz butter melted
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Squeeze or minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon Smoked Black Pepper
- 1 dash favorite hot sauce
- 1 ounce Grated Parmesan-Romano Cheese
- fresh oregano
Instructions
- Rinse and shuck the oysters, reserving as much oyster liquor as possible. See notes for shucking instructions.
- Heat a grill to high heat
- Mix melted butter with garlic and pepper and pour a spoonful over each oyster. Then dash each oyster with a bit of hot sauce.
- Place the oysters over the direct heat and cook, topping with more sauce as needed (caution there will be flare ups from the dripping oil/butter).
- When cooked through, move to indirect heat and top each oyster with cheese and a pinch of oregano. Cook until the cheese in melted.
- Remove to a serving plate and slurp away, or be overtly proper and eat them with a fork.
