SIGN UPIngredients
6 large fresh raw oysters on the half shell or shell removed
Juice from one fresh lemon
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves pressed
1 tsp salt-free lemon pepper
1 tsp salt-free hot sauce
Directions
For oysters in the half shell or out, this method of cooking works great. Rinse oysters under cold water and set aside.
Combine remaining ingredients in small pitcher and stir until well blended.
Use a small barbecue brush to spread sauce over each oyster, coating generously.
For oysters in the half shell, place on broiler pan and broil on low for 5-10 minutes. For shelled oysters, place on non-stick baking pan and broil on low for 5-10 minutes.
Oysters should be lightly browned on tops. Remove from oven and serve with fresh lemons. Oysters can be served in the shell and when cooked thoroughly will be easily removed with a small fork.
