Grilled Oysters with Flavoured Butter
Directions
GRILLED OYSTERS: Preheat grill to high heat.
Shuck oysters and place onto a baking tray. Discard top shells.
Place a small spoonful of flavoured butter onto each oyster then place oysters onto the grill. Ensure the oysters are flat, so that the oyster liquor and butter do not leak out during cooking.
Cook for 3 – 4 minutes, as the oysters cook, the meat will begin to shrink and the oyster liquor and butter will simmer.
Carefully remove oysters from the grill. Serve hot.
