Homewrecker BBQ GRILLED OYSTERS

Barbecued OystersHomewrecker BBQ Grilled Oysters

Ingredients

48 medium-sized oysters
1/2 cup (4 oz./125 g.) unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup (4 fl. oz.) Homewrecker BBQ Sauce

Instructions

Scrub the oysters with a stiff brush under cold running water. To shuck each oyster, hold it, flat side up, in your non-dominant hand. (You might want to protect your hand from the sharp shell with a folded kitchen towel or a sturdy glove.) Find the hinge near the pointed end of the oyster, and insert the tip of an oyster knife about 1/2 inch (12 mm.) deep into the hinge. Twist the knife to break the hinge and loosen the top shell. Run the knife along the inside surface of the bottom shell to loosen the oyster, and leave the oyster in the shell. Place the oyster on a rimmed baking sheet or tray and repeat with the remaining oysters. Once all the oysters are shucked, return them to the refrigerator until the grill is ready.

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat. Brush and oil the grill grate.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and BBQ sauce. Whisk to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors, then remove from the heat.

Carefully place the oysters on the grill and quickly spoon a little of the sauce into each shell. Cover the grill and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the oysters are to your liking.

Using tongs, transfer the oysters to a platter and serve at once. Serves 4 as a main dish or 8 as an appetizer.
