Ingredients
  

Oysters
  • 12 pieces fresh oysters, cleaned and scrubbed
  • Crushed ice for serving
Garlic Butter Sauce
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional) for spice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Garnishes
  • Lemon wedges
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully infused.
  2. Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife, keeping the natural brine intact.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
  2. Place shucked oysters on the grill cupped side down, add a spoonful of garlic butter to each, and grill for 5–7 minutes until butter is melted and bubbling.
Serving
  1. Remove from the grill, garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, and serve over crushed ice.

Notes

Choose fresh oysters for the best flavor and texture. Don’t overcook to avoid rubbery oysters.
