Grilled oysters in the shell are fun for an informal get together. Clams and mussels are also good candidates for grilling. Serves 2.
- Scrub shells and place over hot coals or a preheated grill with the deeper side of the oyster down in order to keep most of the liquid in the oyster.
- Grill for 8 to 10 minutes or until the oysters open slightly and start to sizzle. Discard any oysters that do not open.
- Handle hot shells carefully and pry them open all the way.
- Run a small knife under he oyster to release from the shell.
- Add a small amount of the mignonette sauce atop the oyster and serve.
Mignonette Sauce:
