If you're lucky enough to live where fresh oysters are sold, pick some up and get started with this easy recipe!
Ingredients
2 dozen oysters, raw (your choice on type but I'm partial to the famous Chincoteague Salts)
charcoal for the grill
Old Bay Compound Butter (recipe to follow), as a garnish
Instructions
Once you've purchased your oysters, keep them in a cold fridge, or better yet, on ice in a cold fridge until ready to grill.
Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove grit from the outside, however be prepared for a little grit and shell on the inside once they're grilled! It's part of the magic, trust me.
Heat up your grill (I prefer charcoal to gas) and once hot, place oyster shells (they should be closed) on the grill and flip after about 8 minutes.
You'll know they're done once they've opened. Use tongs to transfer to a heat-proof plate, and with a pastry brush, spread a small amount of Old Bay Compound Butter inside each oyster if desired.
Other serving suggestions: regular butter with salt, lemon juice or mignonette sauce. I often stay away from cocktail sauce as I feel it's flavor can overpower the sweet & subtle taste of the oysters.
