Ingredients
1 dozen oysters in their shells
4 teaspoons Creole seasoning
6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Instructions
Prep the Compound Butter:
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, Creole seasoning, parsley, lemon zest, and minced garlic until well combined into a thick paste.
Clean and Shuck the Oysters:
Wash the oysters under fresh water using a stiff brush to remove grit. Shuck the oysters, keeping them in the deeper half of the shell and retaining the oyster liqueur.
Grilling:
Preheat the grill to 500°F. Place the oysters on a foil-lined tray and grill for 5-7 minutes until the edges bubble. Add a dollop of compound butter to each oyster, grill for another 3-4 minutes, then sprinkle with Pecorino Romano. Grill for 2-3 more minutes until the cheese is golden. Optionally, broil for extra crispiness.
