grilled oysters
This is my variation of a recipe that I tried years ago. It is a big hit with a crowd for appetizers or for a few folks for dinner. They don't take long to grill, make sure you have a oyster knife for popping the shells ( I have used a CLEAN Screwdriver in a pinch, however you must be real careful as a slip will cause you to impale your hand quite easily)

How To Make grilled oysters
-
Step 1Rinse oysters and brush to make sure they are clear of sand and mud.
-
Step 2melt butter and add garlic and lime juice.
-
Step 3put 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)
-
Step 4pop the shells with a oyster knife and cut oyster loose at this time. I hold oyster with a heavy glove.
-
Step 5return 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.
-
Step 6top with a little dab of bbq sauce of your choice. I like stubbs spicy
-
Step 7when 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
