1 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon shallots, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fennel greens
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
24 unopened, fresh, live medium oysters

  • Prepare and light a grill or preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • In a small bowl, blend together the butter, ground fennel seeds, shallots, fennel bulb, fennel greens, pepper and salt.
  • Arrange the oysters on the grill or oven rack, cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until they start hissing and begin to open.
