NEW ORLEANS' DRAGO'S GRILLED OYSTERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. Ideally, the grill should hit 500 F. In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter. Mix the melted butter with the garlic, pepper, and oregano. Reserve in a small bowl.
• Place the oysters on the half shell right over the hottest part of the grill. The oyster shouldn't be cut loose from the shell as they can slip and fall right through the grill.
• Spoon enough of the seasoned butter over the oysters so that some of it will overflow into the fire and flame up a bit. The oysters are ready when they puff up and get curly on the sides, about 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Top the oysters with the cheese mix and parsley. Serve on the shells immediately.

Steps:

• Insert charcoal insert and fill halfway with lump charcoal. Pre-heat Cuisinart Woodcreek 4-in-1 Pellet Grill to SEAR. In a medium bowl, mix butter garlic, pepper, and oregano. Once the charcoal is ready, place oysters over hot coals. Using a large spoon or small ladle, pour enough of the seasoned butter mixture directly into the oyster shells. Some of the mixture might overflow causing flare-ups. Oysters cook in about 5 minutes; the oysters will puff up and get curly on their side. Top with cheeses and parsley and cook until starting to bubble. Using tongs and remove oysters and place them on a platter. Serve immediately with grilled bread and lots of napkins.
