Grilled Oysters with Irish Whiskey
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted Irish butter such as Kerry
- 2 tbsp Irish whiskey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves finely minced
- Pinch of cayenne
- 12 medium to large sized oysters
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 400-475. Prepare oysters using an oyster knife and shucking severing the muscle that is attaching the oyster to the shell. Leave the oyster in the shell that is more cupped shaped.
- In a saucepan, combine the butter, whiskey, brown sugar, garlic, and cayenne. Stir until well-mixed. Over a low flame heat until butter melts, whiskey cooks off, and sugar dissolves. Let cool and then place up to 1 tbsp (depending on oyster size) of the mixture on each oyster.
- Place the oysters in a single layer on a grill. Grill uncovered for 6-7 minutes until the butter mixture is sizzling and the oyster is puffed up. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
