Ingredients for Bbq Oysters With Ginger

  • 1 dozen fresh oysters
  • Green Onion
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Pepper

How to Make Bbq Oysters With Ginger

  1. Shuck the oysters carefully, retaining the bottom half of the shell. Gently clean any debris from the shell.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and sesame oil until well combined.
  3. Spoon the ginger glaze generously over each oyster in its shell.
  4. Place the oysters on a medium-hot BBQ grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the butter is melted, the sauce is bubbling, and the oysters are cooked through and slightly browned around the edges. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
