For the Oysters
  • 18 pieces fresh oysters, shucked medium-sized oysters recommended
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic more if you're feeling adventurous!
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese can substitute with Pecorino Romano or mozzarella

  4. Spoon the garlic-butter mixture generously over each oyster.
Cooking
