Grilled Oysters with Tomatoes and Smoky Garlic Butter
Makes 12 Oysters
Ingredients
- 12 large oysters, shucked and on the half-shell
- 4 Tbsp salted butter, softened
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 lemon, juice and zest
- 1 tbsp each fresh parsley and chives, chopped
- 1 vine-ripe tomato, chopped finely
Directions
- Preheat your grill to 450F. Make the garlic butter by mixing together the butter, garlic, paprika, lemon and fresh herbs. Lay the oysters shell-side down on the grill, then divide the chopped tomato between them and then top each with about 1 tsp of the garlic butter. Shut the lid of the grill and let the oysters cook for about 3 minutes, until the butter is melted and the oysters are beginning to brown. Serve right away.
