Grilled Oysters

Category: Seafood and Fish - Grilled

6 oysters, washed and patted dry
2 oz butter, at room temp
2 T veal demiglace (I used one tsp of beef Better than Bouillon)
1/2 fresh sage leaf, finely minced (I used about 1/4 t of rubbed sage)
1/4 t minced garlic
1/2 t lemon juice
1/4 t finely grated lemon zest
1/4 oz tasso ham, finely minced
smidge crushed red pepper flakes
1 T panko breadcrumbs
1/2 c finely grated romano cheese

Mix the butter with everything through the red pepper flakes.

Shuck the oysters being careful to conserve the liquor. Put the oysters on a bed of rock salt. We used a 9x13 pan for six oysters. Sprinkle the oysters with the panko. The recipe actually called for a teaspoon of the panko. By the time I was done sprinkling, I used closer to a tablespoon.

Then, top the oysters with the butter mixture. Sprinkle them with the romano cheese. Grill just until the cheese has melted.
