SUNNY'S GREEN GARLIC HERBED BUTTER

CHAR-GRILLED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place oysters in a baking pan, flat-side up.
• Stir butter, sriracha sauce, garlic, green onions, cilantro, and lime juice together in a bowl.
• Bake oysters in the preheated oven until they open slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the top shell of the oysters using a towel and an oyster knife, being careful not to spill the liquor. Gently cut the muscles that attach the oysters to the shell.
• Divide the butter mixture among the oysters, placing a dollop on each. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Broil oysters in the preheated oven until butter melts and Parmesan cheese is golden brown, about 5 minutes.

CHAR-GRILLED OYSTERS

Steps:

• For the cheese topping: Mix the Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest and parsley in a bowl and reserve for later use.
• For the finishing butter: Place the butter, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire, chopped garlic, granulated garlic and 1/2 cup water into a small pot on the stove. Slowly melt and whisk ingredients until incorporated.
• For the oysters: Preheat the grill until it is very hot, about 400 degrees F.
• Top each oyster with a liberal amount of the cheese mixture. Carefully place the oysters on the grill and close. Cook until the cheese is melted and the oysters are starting to get some color, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the oysters from the grill with tongs and place them onto a cookie sheet or a heat-proof surface.
• Arrange 6 oysters per plate or leave on the large platter. Ladle some melted garlic butter over the oysters.
• Serve with grilled bread to soak up the juices and butter!

GRILLED OYSTERS WITH LEMON DILL BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal or gas grill. If using charcoal, make sure you have a full layer of hot coals on the grate.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, garlic, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Place the oysters (oyster-side up!) on a platter. With two small spoons, place a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the herbed butter on each oyster. Place lightly crinkled sheets of aluminum foil loosely on the grill grates. Place the oysters on the foil, making sure they're level so the butter doesn't spill out. (The foil keeps the oyster shells from tipping over.) Cover the grill with the lid, making sure the vents are open, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the butter comes to a simmer and the oysters are just heated through. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve hot.
