The secret to this dish, a chargrilled homage to Gulf oyster houses, is a knockout garlic-herb butter.

These are seriously fantastic. I made the sauce exactly as the recipe stated above. Grilled on a Santa Maria style BBQ pit with red oak wood. Threw some rinsed oysters on whole, waited for them to crack open, detached the oyster from the shell, spooned the butter sauce over, and placed back on the grill till the butter bubbled. Let it cool and wah-la! We made it as appetizers for my moms birthday. People that didn't even like oysters ate them..and loved them!!! This recipe is a winner!

Absolutely delicious. I have made it on several occasions, and every time it's a hit! I use only 1 stick of butter.
