Method
Preparing the Oysters
Clean the Oysters
Scrub the oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any that are open or damaged.
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
Melt the Butter and Mix Cheese
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Prepare the Topping
In a bowl, combine the melted butter-garlic mixture with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon or chorizo. Mix well.
Grilling the Oysters
Place the Oysters on the Grill
Arrange the cleaned oysters on the grill grates, cupped side down, to prevent filling from spilling out.
Add the Cheese Mixture
Spoon the cheese and bacon or chorizo mixture generously onto each oyster.
Add Jalapeños
Top each oyster with a slice of jalapeño.
Grill the Oysters
Close the grill lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Making the Drunk Sauce
Combine Sauce Ingredients
In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more hot sauce for a spicier kick or more mayonnaise for creaminess.
Serving
Plate the Oysters
Carefully remove the oysters from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Serve with Drunk Sauce
Serve the grilled oysters hot with a side of the Drunk Sauce for dipping.
