Grilled Oysters

Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings 4 Appetizer

Ingredients
  

  • 24-48 pcs fresh oysters in shell
  • 2-4 lemons quartered

Instructions
 

  • Start a charcoal or wood fire, or preheat a gas grill; the fire should be moderately high.
  • Place the oyster's round side down on the grill, two to four inches from the heat source.
  • Grill until they begin to open, 5 minutes or so(it will depend on their size).
  • As they open, remove them from the grill and move unopen ones to the hotter part of the grill.
  • Shucking will be easy (just remember that the shells are hot); try to
    keep as much liquid as possible in the shell.
  • If you like oysters fully cooked, return them to the grill and
    cook them until their edges curl (they may have done so already).
  • Serve with lemon wedges.
