BBQ oysters............LOTS of work, but so worth it..........
I hate Shucking............and would never do a slimy raw oyster shooter.............bbq smoked and basted in butter though, YUM
Put them on a bed of sand on a cookie sheet like I did, or you can use rock salt...............basically get a really hot bed of salt or sand, to prop the intact live oysters up level, so any yummy juices don't drain out. The shell has to be level.
~5 minutes on the grain bed at super hot heat........ the oysters should be cracked open, then MUCH easier to pop the top half shell off.
drizzle in some butter/garlic/diced-bacon/green-onion basting juice, spoon and baste more bacon butter love, and then more more bacon butter love over the next 6-8 minutes. cook till firm.
slurp and enjoy..............way too much work, but every couple months I give it a go.
enjoy the pics......... to die for flavor.........
