This recipe is true Texas oysters and makes an oyster lover even out of naysayers! You will eat these grilled oysters by the dozen.
Ingredients
- Dozen oysters, shucked
- 1 bunch of green onions, chopped
- 8 oz shredded pepper jack cheese
- 1/4 C seasoned bread crumbs
- Your favorite BBQ Sauce. We recommend Meat Mitch.
- 1 lb butter, unsalted
- 1 tbsp Meat Church The Gospel or Honey Hog BBQ Rub
- ½ bunch of green onions minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Prepare your Grill
Prepare your grill at a temperature of 400.
Prepare the Compound Butter
Allow the butter to soften. Combine butter, garlic, onion and BBQ Rub thoroughly.
Lay the butter on parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll it up to form a log and tie each end with butcher’s twine. Place in the freezer for an hour to solidify. You can use this butter on any grilled meats to enhance the flavor.
Prepare the Oysters
Shuck the oysters keeping all of the brine in the shell. Also known as oyster liquor or juice.
Grill the Oysters
Sprinkle the oysters with bread crumbs and place directly on the grill. Cook them for 4 minutes. You will be looking for the edge of the oyster to start to curl slightly.
After 4 minutes place a spoonful of butter in the oysters.
After the butter melts add a pinch of pepper jack cheese.
Removed the oysters after 5 total minutes. Top with a squirt of BBQ sauce and a few chopped onions. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then down the hatch!
