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.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

24 fresh shucked oysters, on the half shell
1 lb unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 bunches green onions, finely chopped
20 garlic cloves, pureed
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons creole seasoning
2 ounces white wine
1 cup grated romano cheese
1 loaf French bread

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.

Tips:

Select plump and fresh oysters: Choose oysters that are tightly closed and have a briny, fresh smell. Avoid any oysters with cracked or damaged shells.
Prepare your grill: Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are white-hot. If using a gas grill, preheat the grill to the highest setting.
Shuck the oysters: Hold the oyster in one hand with the hinged side facing you. Insert the oyster knife into the hinge and twist it to pry open the shell. Be careful not to spill any of the oyster liquor.
Prepare the oyster shells: Place the oyster shells on a bed of rock salt in a large baking dish. This will help to keep the oysters stable and prevent them from tipping over.
Top the oysters: Place a small pat of butter, a sprinkle of chopped garlic, and a dash of grated Parmesan cheese on each oyster. You can also add other toppings of your choice, such as crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, or diced tomatoes.
Grill the oysters: Place the baking dish on the grill and cook the oysters for 3-4 minutes, or until the butter has melted and the oysters are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the oysters, as they will become tough.
Serve immediately: Serve the grilled oysters hot with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce.

Conclusion:

Char-grilled oysters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With their smoky flavor and briny sweetness, these oysters are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy oysters, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
