DRAGO'S CHARBROILED OYSTERS

Categories     Shellfish

Number Of Ingredients 17

The Sauce:
1 Stick Unsalted Butter, very soft
1 Pinch Kosher Salt
1 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
4 Tbsp Pecorino Romano
1 pinch Cayenne
1 pinch White Pepper
1 Spritz Lemon Juice
1 tsp Minced Italian Parsley
For the Oysters:
1 Dozen Large freshly shucked Oysters on the half shell (preferrably Louisiana)
1 Recipe of the Sauce, above
Pecorino Romano to finish
Minced Italian Parsley for garnish
Fresh Bread
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Mix together all of the ingredients. Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very, very hot. Place the oysters on the hottest spot on the grill and let them cook in their own juices for a few minutes, just until they start to bubble and the edges curl. 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. Note: The more sauce that oozes onto the plate the better for mopping up with the bread. Also, don't be as foolish as me and just make half a dozen, 3 dozen is more like it.

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds butter, softened
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh garlic
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
6 dozen oysters on the half shell
1 cup grated mixed Parmesan and Romano
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Hot French bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Mix the butter with the garlic, pepper and oregano.
  • Heat a gas or charcoal grill and put oysters on the half shell right over the hottest part. Spoon the seasoned butter over the oysters enough so that some of it will overflow into the fire and flame up a bit.
  • The oysters are ready when they puff up and get curly on the sides, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and Romano and the parsley on top. Serve on the shells immediately with hot French bread.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oysters: Select plump, medium-sized oysters with tightly closed shells. Avoid any oysters with cracked or damaged shells.
  • Prepare the oysters: Scrub the oysters with a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris. Use a shucking knife to carefully open the oysters, taking care not to spill the oyster liquor.
  • Prepare the charbroiler: Preheat your charbroiler to high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent the oysters from sticking.
  • Charbroil the oysters: Place the oysters on the hot grates, hinge side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shells start to open.
  • Serve immediately: Once the oysters are cooked, remove them from the charbroiler and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, lemon juice, or hot sauce.

Conclusion:

Charbroiled oysters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. By following these tips, you can create perfectly cooked oysters that are sure to impress your friends and family. Whether you enjoy them plain or with a variety of toppings, charbroiled oysters are a seafood delicacy that is sure to satisfy.
