B&O American Brasserie: Grilled Oysters with Jalapeno Lime Butter


Ingredients:
12 oysters, fresh in the shell
1/4 lb. butter
1 jalapeno, finely chopped (seeds optional)
1 tbsp. chopped cilantro
1 lime, juiced
1 tsp. garlic, chopped finely
1 tsp. sea salt

Procedure:
1. Allow butter to come to room temp. Meanwhile, heat your grill to a medium-hot temperature with hardwood (oak, cherry, apple or hickory). If you don't have wood, use charcoal.
2. While waiting for grill to heat up, combine all ingredients except oysters and mix well. Wrap the mixture in plastic wrap, roll into a log and chill.
3. Shuck oysters and reserve them on the half shell.
4. Once the mixture is chilled, slice into coins (about 1 tbsp. size) and place on top of oysters.
5. When the grill is hot, grill the oysters for 3 to 5 minutes or until the mixture is melted and sizzling. Enjoy!
