Spicy Grilled Oysters
Ingredients
  • 18 fresh oysters in shells
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature setting, which is 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that you achieve the desired heat for cooking your oysters.
2
Next, arrange the oysters in a baking dish with their flat sides facing upwards. This will help them cook evenly and prevent any potential mess.
3
Meanwhile, combine the softened butter, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro in a mixing bowl. Add a squeeze of lime juice to the mixture for extra flavor.
4
Place the baking dish containing the oysters in the preheated oven and let them cook for about 10 minutes, or until they start to open slightly. This will help loosen the oysters from their shells.
5
Once the oysters have started to open, carefully remove the top shell using a towel and an oyster knife. Be cautious not to spill any of the juices.
6
Using your oyster knife, gently cut away the muscles that hold the oysters to their shells. This will make it easier to remove the top shell and serve.
7
Now, divide the butter mixture among the oysters, placing a small amount on each. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each oyster.
8
Before broiling, position a rack about 6 inches away from the heat source in your oven. This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent any hot spots.
9
Finally, place the baking dish under the oven's broiler and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the butter has melted and the Parmesan cheese is golden brown. This will add a nice crispy texture to your oysters.
