Ingredients

  1. 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
  2. 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  3. 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
  4. 2 lemons, zested and juiced
  5. 1 bunch Italian parsley, chopped
  6. 1 stick unsalted butter
  7. 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  8. 1/2 cup hot sauce, such as the Louisiana brand
  9. 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
  10. 1/4 cup chopped garlic
  11. 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
  12. 24 oysters, shucked on the half shell
  13. 1 loaf Italian bread, sliced and charred on the grill

Instructions

  1. For the cheese topping: Mix the Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest and parsley in a bowl and reserve for later use.
  2. For the finishing butter: Place the butter, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire, chopped garlic, granulated garlic and 1/2 cup water into a small pot on the stove. Slowly melt and whisk ingredients until incorporated.
  3. For the oysters: Preheat the grill until it is very hot, about 400 degrees F.
  4. Top each oyster with a liberal amount of the cheese mixture. Carefully place the oysters on the grill and close. Cook until the cheese is melted and the oysters are starting to get some color, about 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the oysters from the grill with tongs and place them onto a cookie sheet or a heat-proof surface.
  6. Arrange 6 oysters per plate or leave on the large platter. Ladle some melted garlic butter over the oysters.
  7. Serve with grilled bread to soak up the juices and butter!

Delicious !
I do recommend looking carefully at the ratio of cheese mixture and finishing butter to the amount of oysters you plan on making.
I half the amounts of both and find I have plenty left over.
I also tend to use the full amount of parsley with the halved cheese mixture. I l prefer this ratio as it provides a better texture.
I save the left over cheese and finishing butter and use them on my next set of 2 dozen oysters and I have plenty.

Splash some of the garlic butter on the grill grates and close the lid for a great smokey flavor.  We got lazy with the second batch and used the garlic butter and just a little of the Parmesan on the oysters before placing on the grill.  So good.

Served this for friends last night…everyone loved them…!!!

Fantastic recipe. Easy to make and even better to eat. For our personal preferences we cut the garlic in half. We also replaced half of the Parmesan and half the mozzarella with plain breadcrumbs.

I’ve had Drago’s and Acme OysterHouse. Both are fantastic…..and THIS recipe is even better. You cannot go wrong with these!!!

This is a very easy recipe and taste great. I had one pop just before 10 min, so you might want to stand back until your ready to take them off.
