The Art of Grilling Oysters with Lemon Dill Butter

Well, raw oysters are perfectly great, I actually prefer them a little grilled with some lemon dill butter. I'm gonna get the grill set up so I've got hot coals in the charcoal chimney, we're gonna dump them out okay, one layer of coals I'm just gonna spread them out a little bit, I don't want to incinerate these, I want to just slightly grill them. Okay, grate goes on next, I need aluminum foil so this is my trick what you want to do is keep the oysters upright so all the oyster liquor and the butter stay in the shell and I found if I put sprinkles of foil right on the grill, I can just set the oysters in the foil and it all stays in the shell.

So, while I put the oysters on the grill, I'll show you how I prepared them. I put a quarter of a pound of room temperature butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment along with a teaspoon of minced garlic, a teaspoon of minced fresh dill, half a teaspoon of lemon zest, a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice, three quarters of a teaspoon of kosher salt, a quarter of a teaspoon of pepper and just mixed everything together. Then, I used two small spoons to put about a teaspoon of herb butter on each oyster, I had bought them shopped on the half shell.

Okay, last two on, I made these ones for Jeffrey and went crazy, so I'm gonna put the lid on make sure the vents are open and grill them for exactly three minutes. Okay, time's up and they smell amazing you can tell they're done when the butter's just sizzling and they just start to cook oh it's gonna be so good just gonna put them on a platter, the butter's melted and the oysters just ever so slightly cooked.

I'm using blue point oysters from Long Island, they're really nice and plump but pick any oysters you really like make sure they're really needy. You know what I always say, cook oysters and a man shows up and a little flirty cell at the end just to bring out the flavors. Uh oh, trouble just arrived what's here so I made um grilled oysters with lemon dill butter you don't want any do you no no I'll just take the whole plate well that looks good he's a very good audience so you just pick one up like that you can use your four they're hot very hot and just eat it really good and then you can just sort of go grab them unbelievable.
