Oysters

Method

Preparing the Oysters

1

Clean the Oysters

Scrub the oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Discard any that are open or damaged.

2

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

3

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.

4

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

5

Place the Oysters on the Grill

Arrange the cleaned oysters on the grill grates, cupped side down, to prevent filling from spilling out.

6

Add the Cheese Mixture

Spoon the cheese and bacon or chorizo mixture generously onto each oyster.

7

Add Jalapeños

Top each oyster with a slice of jalapeño.

8

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

9

Combine Sauce Ingredients

In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

10

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

11

Plate the Oysters

Carefully remove the oysters from the grill and place them on a serving platter.

12

Serve with Drunk Sauce

Serve the grilled oysters hot with a side of the Drunk Sauce for dipping.
