Seafood

Ingredients

24 oysters, freshly shucked (on the half shell)

4 sticks salted butter

2 bunches green onions, chopped fine

20 cloves fresh garlic, pureed

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

3 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped fine

3 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped fine

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce

2 tablespoons Creole seasoning

2 oz white wine

8 oz Romano cheese, grated

1 loaf French bread

Directions

Method: Sauce Butter garlic sauce should be prepared just prior to grilling the oysters. In a large sauté pan, add 2 sticks of butter and place over medium heat. Melt the butter and bring to a simmer. Add green onions, garlic, red pepper, thyme, oregano, lemon juice, Worchestershire sauce and Creole seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes and add white wine. Stir ingredients continuously and cook until green onions are soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 3 minutes. In a large mixing bowl (before mixture is completely cool) combine the remaining butter with the sauce. Blend until butter is melted and folded into the sauce. Final product should have a creamy consistency. Grilling Oysters Pre-heat grill to 350°. Once at 350°, place freshly shucked oyster on the half shell on the center of the grill. Once the water around the oyster begins to bubble and the oyster begins to rise, ladle 1 tablespoon of the butter garlic sauce on top of each oyster. Top with a dusting of cheese, and allow the cheese to melt. Serve immediately with warm French bread for dipping.
