How to Make Chargrilled Oysters

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean oysters thoroughly and ensure they are tightly closed. Discard any that are open and do not close when tapped.
  2. Place oysters, shell side down, directly on the hot grill grates. (For gas grills, ensure even heat distribution).
  3. In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano. Stir to combine.
  4. Grill oysters for 3-5 minutes, or until edges curl and the oyster liquor begins to bubble.
  5. Spoon the garlic herb butter generously over each oyster. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Continue grilling for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from grill, drizzle with fresh lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon per oyster), and serve immediately. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
