Drago's restaurant in Metairie, Louisiana is famous for their grilled oysters. We worked hard to replicate their buttery sauce. We never have Thanksgiving without a sack of oysters and the grill going with this sauce on the side. This recipe makes enough sauce for one dozen oysters. If you're getting a sack make about 4x this amount. There's nothing like a cool, crisp day outside with friends and family playing Bocci Ball and sharing beautiful wines. Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature |
1 pinch kosher salt |
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon garlic, minced |
4 tablespoons pecorino romano cheese |
1 pinch cayenne |
1 pinch white pepper |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon italian parsley, minced |
1 dozen oyster, freshly shucked, on the half shell |
Directions:
1. Whisk together all ingredients except oysters and lemon wedges.
2. Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot.
3. Place the oysters on the grill and let them cook in their own juices for a few minutes, just until they start to bubble and the edges curl.
4. Top each with a generous portion of the sauce, enough to fill up the shell.
5. Continue grilling each oyster until the sauce is nice and bubbly and turning a caramel color.
6. Serve and eat immediately.
