GRILLED OYSTERS
INGREDIENTS
BIG GREEN EGG SETUP
Set your Big Green Egg up for direct grilling. Preheat to approx 500 degrees.
DIRECTIONS
Combine all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Use the back of a fork and push the mixture together. Everything should combine easily if your butter is soft enough. Set the mixture aside while you shuck your oysters.
***you should always scrub and rinse your oysters under cold water. Make sure they are clean***
Shuck your oysters leaving the oyster in one of the shells. and place onto a large cookie sheet. (I tend to use the bowl side of the shell because it will contain more of the natural liquid as well as hold your butter mixture while cooking) Using a standard spoon, scoop equal amounts of the butter mixture on to each of the oysters.
Time to cook! Carry your sheet of oysters out to your Big Green Egg. Oysters cook extremely fast and your Egg is HOT. Use your grate lifter to remove your hot grate to a safe location. With your grate off Egg, It is safe to add the oysters to your grate. Once your oysters are on, put your grill grate back on the Egg over the fire. Close your Egg. You want to cook these just long enough for the butter mixture to cook and brown slightly. Use the same grate removal process to remove the oysters. Use some tongs to trasfer them hot shells to a serving plate.
These are excellent as an appetizer!!
Enjoy!
