Get Fresh and Fabulous Oysters

Start by purchasing fresh oysters from a reputable seafood market. Get the amount depending on how many people you're serving. Plan for about 6 oysters per person.

Fire Up the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will add a delicious smoky flavor to your oysters.

Shuck the Oysters

Using an oyster knife, carefully pry open each oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge and twisting it gently. Be sure to keep the oysters level to preserve their juices.

Top with the Twist

Now it's time for the twist! Spoon a small amount of the sensational sauce onto each shucked oyster. Get creative and add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs or a dash of hot sauce to really amp up the flavor.

Grill to Perfection

Place the topped oysters directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to curl and the sauce is bubbling.

Serve and Enjoy

Carefully remove the grilled oysters from the grill using tongs or a spatula. Transfer them to a platter and garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Serve hot and watch as your guests devour this twist on the classic oyster platter!
