Steps:
- Mix together all of the ingredients. Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very, very hot. Place the oysters on the hottest spot on the grill and let them cook in their own juices for a few minutes, just until they start to bubble and the edges curl. Top each with a generous portion of the sauce, enough to fill up the shell. When the sauce starts to bubble and sizzle sprinkle each oyster with about a Tbsp of Pecorino Romano. Let the Oysters go until the sauce on the edges of the shells gets nice and brown. Garnish with minced Parsley. Serve while still sizzling with Lemon wedges and fresh bread. Note: The more sauce that oozes onto the plate the better for mopping up with the bread. Also, don't be as foolish as me and just make half a dozen, 3 dozen is more like it.

Steps:
- Mix the butter with the garlic, pepper and oregano.
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill and put oysters on the half shell right over the hottest part. Spoon the seasoned butter over the oysters enough so that some of it will overflow into the fire and flame up a bit.
- The oysters are ready when they puff up and get curly on the sides, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and Romano and the parsley on top. Serve on the shells immediately with hot French bread.
Tips:
- Choose the right oysters: Select plump, medium-sized oysters with tightly closed shells. Avoid any oysters with cracked or broken shells.
- Prepare the oysters: Shuck the oysters carefully, being sure to remove all of the shell fragments. Rinse the oysters in cold water and pat them dry.
- Make the garlic butter: Combine melted butter, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
- Charbroil the oysters: Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat. Place the oysters on a hot grill or broiler pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the edges of the oysters curl and the shells start to open.
- Serve immediately: Charbroiled oysters are best served hot off the grill. Serve them with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
