Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh oysters in their shells
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 450°F (230°C).
Step 2
Carefully shuck the oysters, leaving the oysters in the deeper half of the shell. Discard the top shell.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, parsley, thyme, garlic, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mix well until you achieve a smooth, even consistency.
Step 4
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the herbed butter mixture onto each oyster.
Step 5
Gently drizzle each oyster with a small amount of olive oil to help prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the oysters on the grill, ensuring they are slightly slanted so the butter doesn’t spill out.
Step 7
Grill the oysters for about 5-7 minutes, or until the butter is melted and starts to bubble, and the edges of the oysters begin to curl.
Step 8
Remove the oysters from the grill using tongs and place them on a serving platter.
Step 9
Drizzle the grilled oysters with fresh lemon juice before serving for an additional burst of flavor.
Step 10
Serve the oysters immediately while warm, accompanied by lemon wedges if desired.
