Oyster Roast With Garlic-Parsley Butter
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 shallots, halved
- 2 cups (16 oz.) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon ground sumac
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 dozen oysters in the shell
- Pulse garlic and shallots in a food processor until finely chopped, 3 to 5 times. Add butter, parsley, sumac, salt, and cayenne pepper, and process until well combined, about 1 minute. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat grill to medium-high (400u0b0F to 450u0b0F). Arrange oysters in a single layer on grill; cover with wet burlap or towel. Grill oysters, covered, until oysters open, 10 to 12 minutes. Using tongs, carefully transfer roasted oysters to a platter.
- Melt 1/2 cup of the garlic butter in small saucepan over medium. Remove and discard top shells from oysters, and spoon 2 teaspoons melted Garlic-Parsley Butter on each oyster. Serve immediately. Reserve remaining butter for another use.
