Grilled Oysters

By Derrick Riches, About.com

You want to watch these pretty closely. The second that the shells start to open, remove the oysters from the grill and serve. These are a great appetizer for parties around the grill.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 6 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 12 oysters per person
  • salt and pepper
  • melted butter
  • lemon wedges
  • hot pepper sauce (Tabasco)
  • Worcestershire sauce

Preparation:

Clean oysters thoroughly to remove any mud from the shells. Use either a grill topper (i.e. wok) or heavy foil with several holes punched through it on the grill grate. Place oysters on the grill and close lid. Grill until shells open (about 6 minutes). Remove from grill and cut muscles from the shell. Serve hot with the above sauces and seasonings. It's best to grill them in batches so everyone gets good hot oysters.
