Although I love my oysters raw, sometimes a grilled oyster is a nice change. The oysters are topped with a yummy spicy citrus butter that still allows the flavor of the oysters to come through. The butter is also great as a dipping sauce for crab legs and lobster.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 2 teaspoons shallots, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons cilantro, minced
- oysters on the half shell
Directions
- Mix the butter with the shallots, sriracha, lime, salt, and cilantro. Let set up in the fridge. It doesn't have to set up completely but it should be more solid than liquid
- Meanwhile, heat the grill (or broiler) until very hot.
- Toss each oyster with a dollop of butter.
- Grill (or broil) for 3-4 minutes.
- Enjoy! But be careful as the shells will be very hot.
