Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Arrange oysters in a baking pan, ensuring they sit flat-side up. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and lime juice. Mix until well combined, creating a vibrant and flavorful butter mixture. (5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Bake the oysters in the preheated oven until they begin to open slightly, indicating they are cooked. This typically takes around 10 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid overcooking.

04

Step
10 mins

Carefully remove the oysters from the oven. Using a sturdy towel and an oyster knife, gently pry open the top shell of each oyster, being mindful not to spill the precious oyster liquor. With the knife, carefully detach the muscle connecting the oyster to the shell. (10 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Spoon a generous dollop of the butter mixture onto each oyster, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle a generous amount of finely grated Parmesan cheese over each oyster. (5 minutes)

06

Step
0 mins

Adjust the oven rack to approximately 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the oven's broiler to high.

07

Step
5 mins

Broil the oysters in the preheated oven until the butter is melted, the Parmesan cheese is golden brown and bubbling, and the oysters are heated through. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

08

Step
0 mins

Remove from the oven and serve immediately. For an elegant presentation, arrange the char-grilled oysters on a bed of rock salt.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the butter mixture.
If you're using particularly large oysters, you may need to adjust the baking and broiling times accordingly.
Ensure the oysters are fresh and properly cleaned before cooking.
A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving adds a bright and zesty finish.
