Ingredients
SPICY LEMON GARLIC BUTTER:
8 ounces Plugrá European-Style Butter, unsalted, softened
1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper sauce
1/2 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons flake sea salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
BREADCRUMB TOPPING:
1/2 tablespoon Plugrá European-Style Butter, unsalted, melted
1/2 cup Japanese breadcrumbs
ASSEMBLY:
rock salt, as needed
24 fresh shucked oysters in the half shell
8 fresh lemon wedges
Preparation
SPICY LEMON GARLIC BUTTER: Combine softened Plugrá Butter, parsley, lemon zest, cayenne pepper sauce, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt and black pepper in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until blended.
Spoon onto parchment paper in a log shape. Roll closed, twisting edges of parchment paper to form a tight log. Refrigerate until firm.
BREADCRUMB TOPPING: Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine melted Plugrá Butter and breadcrumbs in a small bowl and stir until blended; sprinkle evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 5 to 8 minutes or until golden brown; reserve.
ASSEMBLY: Preheat barbecue grill (high heat).
Spread a 1/2-inch thick layer of rock salt on a large rimmed baking sheet or large disposable aluminum baking dish. Place on grill rack and heat for 20 minutes.
Slice the tendons that hold the oysters to the shells; flip oysters over in the shell, smooth side up.
Transfer hot rock salt-lined baking sheet from grill to heat proof cutting board; carefully nestle the oysters in the hot rock salt to keep from tipping. Top each oyster with 1 slice of spicy lemon garlic butter.
Transfer baking sheet with oysters to grill; heat for 6 to 10 minutes, or until oysters are bubbling around outer edges; sprinkle 1 teaspoon breadcrumb topping over each oyster.
Remove baking sheet from grill. Carefully transfer grilled oysters to serving platter lined with rock salt. Garnish platter with lemon wedges. Serve hot.
