Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 lemons, zested and juiced
1 bunch Italian parsley, chopped
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup hot sauce, such as the Louisiana brand
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup chopped garlic
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
24 oysters, shucked on the half shell
1 loaf Italian bread, sliced and charred on the grill

Steps:

  • For the cheese topping: Mix the Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest and parsley in a bowl and reserve for later use.
  • For the finishing butter: Place the butter, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire, chopped garlic, granulated garlic and 1/2 cup water into a small pot on the stove. Slowly melt and whisk ingredients until incorporated.
  • For the oysters: Preheat the grill until it is very hot, about 400 degrees F.

  • Remove the oysters from the grill with tongs and place them onto a cookie sheet or a heat-proof surface.
  • Arrange 6 oysters per plate or leave on the large platter. Ladle some melted garlic butter over the oysters.
  • Serve with grilled bread to soak up the juices and butter!
