Number Of Ingredients 6

36 oysters, medium size
1/4 c butter, melted
1/4 c bourbon
6-8 clove garlic, minced
4 limes, juiced
1/4 c bbq sauce of your choice

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse oysters and brush to make sure they are clear of sand and mud.
  • 2. melt butter and add garlic and lime juice.
  • 3. put oysters on a med high grill for approx. 5-10 minutes. ( watch for them to start to boil around the edges a bit, however some are sealed so tight you may not see it)
  • 4. pop the shells with a oyster knife and cut oyster loose at this time. I hold oyster with a heavy glove.
  • 5. return oyster to grill, carefully add 1 tablespoon of bourbon to each shell it will flame a lot if you spill, along with a tablespoon of the butter garlic lime mixture.
  • 6. top with a little dab of bbq sauce of your choice. I like stubbs spicy
  • 7. when the mixture comes to a simmer remove and serve hot. when i do these for a crowd i serve right off the grill, just remember shells are HOT
