New Orleans Style Chargrilled Oysters, on a Big Green Egg.

New Orleans Style Chargrilled Oysters

Carne Diem Culinary
There is nothing quite like a chargrilled oyster. A great gateway to this delicacy, the smoke and char adds to the delicate, briny flavor of the oyster. Add some cheese and you are on a trip to flavor town.

Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Large Fresh Oysters We prefer Blue Point
  • 4 oz butter melted
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Squeeze or minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Smoked Black Pepper
  • 1 dash Favorite Hot Sauce
  • 1 ounce Grated Parmesan-Romano Cheese
  • Fresh Oregano

Instructions
 

  • Rinse and shuck the oysters, reserving as much oyster liquor as possible. See notes for shucking instructions.
  • Heat a grill to high heat
  • Mix melted butter with garlic and pepper and pour a spoonful over each oyster. Then dash each oyster with a bit of hot sauce.
  • Place the oysters over the direct heat and cook, topping with more sauce as needed (caution there will be flare ups from the dripping oil/butter).
  • When cooked through, move to indirect heat and top each oyster with cheese and a pinch of oregano. Cook until the cheese in melted.
  • Remove to a serving plate and slurp away, or be overtly proper and eat them with a fork.
