Grilled Oysters with Butter

• 6 fresh oysters in the shell, scrubbed (Buy live, tightly closed. Discard any that are open and do not close when tapped.)
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• flaky salt
• black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat grill on high.

2. 2

   Place oysters flat-side up on the grates. Close the lid.

   Grill 4-6 minutes. The oysters will pop open when done. Discard any that refuse to open.

   Wearing a glove or using tongs, open the shells the rest of the way with an oyster knife. Keep the oyster liquor in the bottom shell.

   Drizzle 1 tsp melted butter over each oyster. Finish with flaky salt and pepper. Slurp straight from the shell while hot.
