Ingredients

12 Gulf Coast oysters large, on the half shell
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 tsp shallots minced
2 tsp red chilis minced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp Italian flat leaf parsley + more for garnish finely chopped
2 tbsp Parmesan or Pecorino Romano grated
1 lemon zest
1 tsp kosher salt
1 lemon sliced to char and juice over cooked oysters
2 quarts apple wood and /or mesquite chips

Instructions

Start by soaking the chips in water (they need to soak for 15-20 min).
Light charcoals in a chimney starter and once they are very hot and ambered spread them over the charcoal grill bed.
Strain the water off the soaking chips and place them directly over the ambered charcoals.
Wait for the initial heavy and bitter smoke to clear before placing the oysters on the grill. You are after a delicate smoking.
Place the lemon wedges on the grill at the time you put the oysters.
Place a small cast iron skillet on the grill with the butter, cheese, garlic, chile, salt, parsley, lemon zest, shallot and wait until the butter melts and begins to bubble.
Spoon butter compound over each oyster.
Once the cheese begins to crisp up, remove the oysters (about 8 minutes).
Arrange oysters and marked lemon wedges on a platter, garnish with parsley and open a cold craft beer. Enjoy!
