I never realized just how delicious and easy it is to grill oysters. My friend Chef Chris Sherrill from Salt Restaurant showed me just how easy it is to do.

Fresh oysters are poached in European butter that is infused with fresh garlic, rosemary and green onions. A sprinkle of cheese finishes this easy recipe. A great appetizer to make on the grill.

And if you’re ever in need of shucking your own oysters, be sure to watch the tutorial below.

    Although we prefer using The Oyster Bed you can cook shucked oysters in their shells, or even use a cupcake pan.
