Chargrilled Oysters
Developed by Chef Jay Ducote Ingredients
- 2 sticks of butter, salted and softened at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
- 2 Tbsp green onions, sliced
- 2 Tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1 Tbsp fresh garlic, minced
- 2 lemons, juiced, divided
- 2 dozen (24) Louisiana oysters, shucked and on the halfshell
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Allow butter to soften at room temperature. Mix cajun seasoning, green onions, parsley, garlic, and juice from one lemon in with the butter and combine well.
- Shuck oysters and leave them on half shell. Place oysters on a hot grill over direct heat. When the liquid in the oyster shells starts to bubble, add approximately 1 tablespoon of herb butter to each oyster and continue to grill or broil until butter is bubbly and slightly browned. Top each oyster with a solid pinch of shredded parmesan and allow that to melt. Remove oysters from the grill and squeeze juice from the second lemon over the top. Enjoy!
