The compound butter is also awesome on steaks, chicken or as a bread dipper.

How to Make Charbroiled Oysters
- Mix together all of the ingredients for the sauce.
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Place the oysters on the hottest spot on the grill and let them cook in their own juices for a few minutes until they start to bubble and the edges curl.
WARNING: The shells will crack, pop and even explode on this step. Keep children away and wear eye protection. As long as eyes are covered, the popping will not hurt. - 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.
