SPICY BARBECUED OYSTERS
If you're intimidated by shucking oysters--this recipe for barbecued oysters is for you. When you grill them, steam builds up inside the shells until they pop open. Then you slather a little garlicky red barbecue sauce on each oyster, put them back on the grill to get hot and bubbly, and you're done. At a party, bring your oysters to the grill and show your guests how it's done so they can barbecue their own.

Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until it softens, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in chili sauce (or ketchup), lemon juice and hot sauce.
- Bring oysters along with the sauce, a cutting board, an oven mitt, tongs and an oyster knife (or other small knife) to the grill.
- Place oysters flat-side up on the grill rack. Close the lid and grill until the top shell pops open, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the oysters to the cutting board with tongs, keeping them as level as possible so the oyster "liquor" (salty seawater) doesn't spill out.
- Wear the oven mitt to hold the oyster and use the knife to remove the top shell, cutting the oyster away from the top shell and leaving it in the bottom shell. Periodically wipe your knife clean. Discard the top shells. Spoon about 1 teaspoon sauce onto each oyster. Return the oysters to the grill, close the lid and grill until the sauce is bubbling, 2 to 4 minutes more. Serve with small forks.

GRILLED OYSTERS WITH LEMON DILL BUTTER
I have a confession: I'm not the biggest fan of raw oysters. People wax poetic about Blue Points and Wellfleets and debate about East Coast versus West Coast varieties, but they're all a little too cold and slippery for me to enjoy the flavor. Of course, you can serve them with a classic mignonette sauce and rye bread but then all you really taste is mignonette sauce and rye bread. However, if you put some freshly shucked oysters (on the half shell) on the grill for two to three minutes, just long enough to heat them through, everything changes! For this version, I make a simple herb butter - a combination of good butter, freshly squeezed lemon juice and dill - and add some to each oyster before I grill them. They're a perfect summer appetizer: celebratory and so delicious. And only you will know how easy they were to make!

Steps:
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill. If using charcoal, make sure you have a full layer of hot coals on the grate.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, garlic, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and beat on medium speed until just combined.
- Place the oysters on the half shell on a sheet pan. Place 1 level teaspoon of the herbed butter on each oyster (you'll have just enough butter for all the oysters). Place slightly crumpled sheets of aluminum foil on the grill grates to keep the oysters stable. Transfer the oysters to the foil, making sure the shells are level so the butter doesn't spill out. Cover the grill with the lid, making sure the vents are open, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the butter comes to a simmer and the oysters are just heated through. Transfer carefully to a platter, sprinkle with sea salt and serve hot.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, beat the butter until it's completely soft, then add the remaining ingredients. Lay a piece of cling film out on a clean work surface. Spoon the butter into the centre, then roll up tightly into a sausage shape. Keep in the fridge until ready to use. Will keep for a week in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
- Light the barbecue and let it burn until the coals are glowing whitehot. Now shuck your oysters. Fold a tea towel into a strip and lie it on a firmly positioned chopping board (held in place underneath by some damp kitchen towel). Put the oysters on the towel, curved-side down, and wrap the tea towel over to sandwich it. Use a strong knife, preferably a shucking knife, to firmly pierce the hinge of the oyster, then turn it to open the oyster until you hear it pop. Work the knife around the edge of the shell, being careful not to cut into the oyster, until you can remove the lid. Disconnect the oyster from its shell on the bottom so it slides out easily.
- Slice a round of the butter on top of each oyster and put on the barbecue, grilling for 6 mins or until bubbling. Serve with some chunks of bread to mop up the juices, if you like.

Steps:
- Preheat a gas grill to high. Place rock salt in a saucepan, and place on grill until heated through.
- Place oysters curved side down on grill. Cook until beginning to open, about 6 minutes. Using tongs, remove from grill and remove top shell.
- Divide the barbecue sauce between 6 of the oysters. Divide the compound butter between remaining 6 oysters. Return to grill until heated through, and butter is melted.
- Spread rock salt onto a serving platter. Arrange oysters on salt. Garnish with lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality oysters. Look for oysters that are plump and have tightly closed shells. Avoid any oysters that have cracked or broken shells, as these may be contaminated.
- Prepare the oysters properly. Before cooking, scrub the oysters with a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris. Then, shuck the oysters, being careful not to spill any of the oyster liquor.
- Use a hot grill. The best way to cook BBQ salami oysters is over a hot grill. This will help to sear the oysters and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Cook the oysters for a short time. Oysters only need to be cooked for a few minutes per side. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the oysters immediately. BBQ salami oysters are best served hot off the grill. You can garnish them with a squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a dollop of tartar sauce.
Conclusion:
BBQ salami oysters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So, next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy oysters, give BBQ salami oysters a try. You won't be disappointed!
