New Orleans Grilled Oysters Oysters can be cooked in their shells
on your barbecue grill. The heat from the grill steams the oysters.
They make a great appetizer. So easy and so delicious, a local
New Orleans tradition. 6 fresh oysters in the shell per person
Basting sauce made from: About one stick melted butter, chopped
fresh galic to taste, salt and pepper to taste, for each 6 oyster
batch. Preheat barbecue grill. Or use a toaster oven set high.
Scrub the oyster shells under cold running water with a brush.
Open, discard top shell and losen oyster from bottom shell. Place
about a table spoon of the flavored melted butter over each oyster.
Place oysters (cup side on bottom) on hot grill about 4 inches
from hot coals. Cover barbecue with lid, open any vents, and cook
3 to 5 minutes (depending on size) or until done to your taste.
Using a oven mit, remove the oysters from the grill, taking care
not to spill their juices. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and
chopped green onion on top of hot oysters. Transfer onto a serving
platter. Serve with left over melted butter, your favorite hot
sauce, and lemon wedges. Submitted by 'Oyster Boy' of New Orleans.
