CHARGRILLED OYSTERS ACME OYSTER HOUSE STYLE
This is my favorite way to use fresh oysters. Living in the Northwest it's easier to get the large less sweet pacific variety. Any fresh variety available will work for these buttery, cheesy, spicy bursts of oyster goodness. Recipe from "Louisiana Cookin" Magazine.

Steps:
- Melt half the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add your lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, green onions and all herbs and seasonings. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then stir in wine.
- Keep stirring and remove from heat as soon as the green onions wilt. Let cool for 3-4 minutes. Add the rest of the butter and stir until completely incorporated.
- Heat grill to to 350°F Place oysters on grill. When the oyster liquor starts to bubble, spoon 1 tablespoon of sauce on top of each, then top with 1 tablespoon of Romano cheese. Let the cheese melt.
- When oysters begin to slightly brown at the edges, remove from grill and place on a heat proof plate or tray.
- Top each oyster with an additional tablespoon of the butter sauce and serve immediately with slices of french bread for dipping.
- All you need is a good pint of lager and a few friends. I suggest a little Jazz in the background.

ACME CHARGRILLED OYSTERS
Steps:
- Method: Sauce Butter garlic sauce should be prepared just prior to grilling the oysters. In a large sauté pan, add 2 sticks of butter and place over medium heat. Melt the butter and bring to a simmer. Add green onions, garlic, red pepper, thyme, oregano, lemon juice, Worchestershire sauce and Creole seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes and add white wine. Stir ingredients continuously and cook until green onions are soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 3 minutes. In a large mixing bowl (before mixture is completely cool) combine the remaining butter with the sauce. Blend until butter is melted and folded into the sauce. Final product should have a creamy consistency. Grilling Oysters Pre-heat grill to 350°. Once at 350°, place freshly shucked oyster on the half shell on the center of the grill. Once the water around the oyster begins to bubble and the oyster begins to rise, ladle 1 tablespoon of the butter garlic sauce on top of each oyster. Top with a dusting of cheese, and allow the cheese to melt. Serve immediately with warm French bread for dipping.

Tips:
- Select the freshest oysters possible. Look for oysters that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any oysters that are open or have a foul odor.
- Prepare the oysters properly. Scrub the oysters clean with a stiff brush and rinse them well under cold water. Remove the top shell of each oyster and discard it.
- Use a high-quality grill. A charcoal grill or a gas grill with a sear burner will give you the best results. Make sure the grill is hot before you start cooking the oysters.
- Cook the oysters quickly. Oysters only take a few minutes to cook, so don't overcook them. Once the edges of the oysters start to curl up, they are done.
- Serve the oysters immediately. Charred oysters are best served hot and fresh. You can serve them with a variety of toppings, such as butter, lemon juice, hot sauce, or garlic butter.
Conclusion:
Charred oysters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. By following these tips and preparing instructions, you can easily create delicious charred oysters that will impress your friends and family.
