Instructions
Fire up your bbq.
Give the oysters a rinse under cold water to remove any grit or shell.
Hold the oyster so you're cradling the curved side of the shell, and the flat side of the shell is facing up.
Screw the knife into the hinge until it separates the top and bottom shells.
Run the knife along the inside of the flat shell, cutting the top muscle and popping the top off.
Gently scrape under the oyster and flip it over.
Place the oysters in their shells over the direct heat and grill for 5 minutes.
Place about one tablespoon of butter onto each oyster. When the butter comes to a boil, carefully remove the oysters from the grill. Let them sit for 5 minutes to cool, then enjoy.
Savory butter
Put the butter, shallots, chives, parsley, garlic, parmesan, and salt and pepper into a small pot over medium heat. Heat until the butter has melted, stir to combine. make sure everything is combined. Set aside.
