Description
This is concoction was developed by my buddy and I during a block party. We had people standing in line. Be sure to use leather gloves when shucking hot oysters. Sounds like a pain, but well worth the work.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
- 12 fresh oysters in shells
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl
- stir together the butter

- and sriracha sauce. Spoon onto waxed paper and roll into a log. Place into the freezer until set.
- Preheat a grill for high heat.
- Place whole oysters on the hot grill for 3 to 5 minutes
- or until almost done. Remove the top shell from the oysters
