Broiled Oysters On The Half Shell With Garlic/Lemon/Butter/Parmesan Sauce- Recipe

Watch my Instagram video reel here for tutorial!

I once had these amazing baked oysters with a garlic & parmesan sauce in Maine that was amazing! Well, I recently stumbled on an old New England recipe book that had a similar recipe so I adapted to my palette.

So amazingly delicious and if you have a toasted baguette to dip into the extra butter sauce… I definitely recommend it!

INGREDIENTS

• 8-12 oysters on the half shell (I used White Stone Oysters -here-)

Butter Sauce:

• 1/2 stick butter, melted (melt in a small sauce pan)

• 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced

• 1/2-1 tablespoon lemon juice (to taste, if you like a little zest do the full tbs)

Spread on each oyster:

• 1-2 drops of Worcestershire sauce

• 1-2 drops Tobasco hot sauce

• Sprinkle of paprika (optional)

• Fresh parsley (finely chopped)

• Parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated

PREPARATION

1. Mix the butter sauce and set aside.
2. Pre-heated broiler on medium for 10 minutes. 
3. Add in about 1/2-1 tbs of butter mixture on each oyster. Leave the oyster liquor (its juices in the shell, if there’s a lot of juice, pour some of it out so it can accommodate the butter/cheese mixture.
4. Sprinkle cheese and then some parsely on each oyster.  Add a drop or two of Worcestershire and hot sauce on each oyster. 
5. Arrange oysters and place the oysters in air fryer.
6.  broil oysters for approximately 10 min until butter/cheese mixture is golden brown.

Serve with some lemon wedges, hot sauce, and bread. Yum!
