What an twist – garlic and parsley – your very own breath freshener included. HA!

 

  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large lemon
  • 12 medium fresh oysters
  • 7 flat leaf parsley sprigs, coarsely chopped

Preheat barbecue grill.

Melt butter in a saucepan and add the garlic. Squeeze lemon into the pot and drop in the lemon rind. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Place oysters on the grill (flat shell up) for around 10 minutes until they begin to open up. Poke off the top shell and spoon on the butter sauce. Garnish with more parsley and serve immediately.

Now, as this is for a celebration with adult friends and/or family, serve with the Mohito Punch (recipe below).
