One of the simplest ways to enjoy oysters to grill them with butter, herbs, cheeses and other flavorful toppings. The flavor combinations are only limited by your imagination! My personal oyster obsession started with a plate of Drago’s char-grilled oysters in Metarie, Louisiana. One bite of those buttery, garlicky, cheesy, flame-kissed morsels kicked off an addiction.

I think God created oysters with grilling in mind. The shells stand up to heat and open flames, and seem to hold the perfect amount of liquor for cooking. Briny oysters absorb just enough smoke to transform their ocean taste into a magical mix of fire and water. Best of all, grilled oysters tell you when they’re ready to eat. When the gills begin to curl and the liquid bubbles, take them off the fire and prepare to enjoy simple, culinary perfection.
