Oysters With Tarragon Butter
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup finely chopped tarragon leaves
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1 tsp finely chopped capers
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon peel
- 1 tsp sugar
- 12 None fresh oysters, on the half shell
- Beat butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Beat in remaining ingredients except oysters. Season.
- Layer 2 sheets plastic wrap on a clean work surface. Spoon butter lengthwise along plastic. Roll up to form a 1 inch thick log, twisting ends to seal. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat the grill to medium. Unwrap butter and slice thinly. Top each oyster with half a slice of the butter. Place oysters on the grill. Cook, covered, 2-4 mins, until butter bubbles and oysters are slightly cooked.
