Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces butter (softened)
2 tablespoons garlic (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch dried oregano
18 large oysters (freshly shucked on the half shell)
1 ounce Parmesan cheese (grated)
1 ounce Romano cheese (grated)
2 teaspoons flat-leaf parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. Ideally, the grill should hit 500 F. In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter. Mix the melted butter with the garlic, pepper, and oregano. Reserve in a small bowl.
  • Place the oysters on the half shell right over the hottest part of the grill. The oyster shouldn't be cut loose from the shell as they can slip and fall right through the grill.
  • Spoon enough of the seasoned butter over the oysters 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.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Top the oysters with the cheese mix and parsley. Serve on the shells immediately.

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 :)

DRAGO'S CHARBROILED OYSTERS



Drago's Charbroiled Oysters image

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.

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.
