Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to 350 degrees.

Melt half the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, Worcetershire sauce, lemon juice and all the herbs. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then add the wine. Keep stirring and remove from the heat as soon as the green onions wilt. Let cool for 3-4 minutes. Add the rest of the butter and stir until fully incorporated.

Place oysters on grill heated to 350 degrees. When the oyster liquor starts to bubble, spoon 1 tablespoon of sauce on top of each oyster. Then top with 1 tablespoon of Romano cheese. Let the cheese melt. When oysters begin to slightly brown at the edges, remove them from the grill and place on a heat proof serving tray.

Top each oyster with an additional tablespoon of the butter sauce and serve immediately.
