Ingredients

• 1 stick Butter
• 1 tablespoon each fresh basil, tarragon & thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• Salt to taste
• 36 fresh large oysters, in the shell, scrubbed

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a medium-hot fire in the grill. Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in herbs, garlic, juice, zest, and salt to taste.





Inspect oysters to make sure they are all tightly closed; discard any oysters whose shells do not close to the touch. Place directly on grate. Cover and cook until they open slightly; about 4 to 6 minutes.





Using an oven mitt or work glove to protect your hands, remove the top shells. Discard any unopened oysters. Drizzle a little herb butter onto each oyster. Slurp and enjoy!
