Char Grilled Oysters Recipes

CHAR-GRILLED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place oysters in a baking pan, flat-side up.
• Stir butter, sriracha sauce, garlic, green onions, cilantro, and lime juice together in a bowl.
• Bake oysters in the preheated oven until they open slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the top shell of the oysters using a towel and an oyster knife, being careful not to spill the liquor. Gently cut the muscles that attach the oysters to the shell.
• Divide the butter mixture among the oysters, placing a dollop on each. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Broil oysters in the preheated oven until butter melts and Parmesan cheese is golden brown, about 5 minutes.

BUBBA'S CHARGRILLED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill.
• Put the butter in a pot on high heat and bring to a boil. Make clarified butter by scooping all of the foam that rises to the top and discarding it. Add garlic powder or fresh garlic to the butter.
• Put oysters on an open flame grill and sprinkle Parmesan over top, making sure not to completely cover the oysters. Let them cook until the cheese starts to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Then drizzle the garlic butter generously over the oyster, cook another 1 to 2 minutes and remove from heat. Serve immediately with extra butter, if desired, and with bread or breadsticks.

SUNNY'S CHAR-GRILLED OYSTERS WITH GREEN GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Make the butter: In a food processor, add the butter, garlic, lemon zest and juice, scallions, parsley, Italian seasoning, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Blend all until smooth, then taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Make the breadcrumbs: In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, cheese and parsley.
• Assemble and grill: Preheat a grill to 600 degrees F.
• Arrange the oysters in their half shells on the back of an upside-down baking rack. Add a heaping teaspoon of the butter to each. Sprinkle each with a bit of the breadcrumb mixture. Place the rack on the grill over the direct heat and cook until the oysters are firm and the breadcrumbs are lightly golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges for spritzing.

CHARGRILLED OYSTERS ACME OYSTER HOUSE STYLE

Steps:

• Melt half the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add your lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, green onions and all herbs and seasonings. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then stir in wine.
• Keep stirring and remove from heat as soon as the green onions wilt. Let cool for 3-4 minutes. Add the rest of the butter and stir until completely incorporated.
• Heat grill to to 350°F Place oysters on grill. When the oyster liquor starts to bubble, spoon 1 tablespoon of sauce on top of each, then top with 1 tablespoon of Romano cheese. Let the cheese melt.
• When oysters begin to slightly brown at the edges, remove from grill and place on a heat proof plate or tray.
• Top each oyster with an additional tablespoon of the butter sauce and serve immediately with slices of french bread for dipping.
• All you need is a good pint of lager and a few friends. I suggest a little Jazz in the background.
