CHARBROILED OYSTERS FROM DRAGOS
From a great restaurant in New Orleans. Great dish. Can be broiled in the oven but are much better and more dramatic on the grill. Prep time does not include time to shuck the oysters :)

Steps:
- Whisk together all ingredients for the Sauce. 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.
DRAGO'S CHARBROILED OYSTERS
Drago's restaurant in Metairie, Louisiana is famous for their grilled oysters. We worked hard to replicate their buttery sauce. We never have Thanksgiving without a sack of oysters and the grill going with this sauce on the side. This recipe makes enough sauce for one dozen oysters. If you're getting a sack make about 4x this amount. There's nothing like a cool, crisp day outside with friends and family playing Bocci Ball and sharing beautiful wines.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, plump oysters. Look for oysters that are tightly closed and have a briny smell. Avoid any oysters that are cracked or have a foul odor.
- Prepare your grill for direct heat cooking. Preheat your grill to high heat (450-500 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Shuck the oysters. Use an oyster knife to carefully pry open the shells. Be careful not to spill the oyster liquor.
- Prepare the oysters for grilling. Place the oysters in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Grill the oysters. Place the baking sheet on the grill and cook the oysters for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges of the oysters begin to curl and the shells start to pop open.
- Remove the oysters from the grill and serve immediately. Top with your favorite toppings, such as melted butter, lemon wedges, hot sauce, or grated Parmesan cheese.
