They say at Drago's in NOLA, "mother nature made the oysters, we just perfected them." A friend mentioned these oysters a few weeks ago and we decided to give the recipe a shot. We were not disappointed. Absolutely delicious! The compound butter is also awesome on steaks, chicken or as a bread dipper.

How To Make charbroiled oysters

  • 1
    Mix together all of the ingredients for the sauce.
  • 2
    Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Place the oysters on the hottest spot on the grill and let them cook in their own juices for a few minutes until they start to bubble and the edges curl. WARNING: The shells will crack, pop and even explode on this step. Keep children away and wear eye protection. As long as eyes are covered, the popping will not hurt.
  • 3
    Top each with a generous portion of the sauce, enough to fill up the shell. When the sauce starts to bubble and sizzle sprinkle each oyster with about a Tbsp of Pecorino Romano.
  • 4
    Let the Oysters go until the sauce on the edges of the shells gets nice and brown. Garnish with minced Parsley.
  • 5
    Serve while still sizzling with Lemon wedges and fresh bread.
