1

Fire up the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will give your oysters a nice smoky flavor.

2

Prepare the spicy marinade

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of hot sauce, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. This will be the flavor bomb that takes your oysters to the next level.

3

Shuck the oysters

Using an oyster shucking knife, carefully pry open the oysters, being mindful of your fingers. Place the shucked oysters on a tray lined with ice to keep them fresh.

4

Brush on the marinade

Using a pastry brush, generously brush the spicy marinade onto each oyster. Make sure to cover them completely for maximum flavor.

5

Grill the oysters

Place the oysters directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the edges of the oysters start to curl.

6

Serve and enjoy

Carefully remove the grilled oysters from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and squeeze some fresh lemon juice over them for an extra zing. Grab a fork, dig in, and savor the spicy goodness!
