Grilled Oysters with Garlic & Herb Butter
Ingredients
- 1 stick softened butter
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 tsp anchovy paste
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 24-36 Wellfleet oysters
Instructions
- In a food processor combine butter, garlic, parsley, anchovy paste and lemon juice. Shuck oysters and spoon 1/2 tsp. compound butter onto each. Grill or broil for 5-8 minutes. Tracy’s Tasting Notes: Oysters, although somewhat delicate, are naturally briny—and when topped with a dominant flavor such as anchovies the wine pairing can be a bit tricky. I’ve found that a dry rose is often your best bet for these situations. They are refreshing and faintly fruity, and hit the mark with foods that are salty or complex.
