Chargrilled Oysters
Chargrilled oysters are a briny, cheesy, spicy and delicious appetizer (or meal) you can make at home. It only takes a few ingredients and a quick assembly, so grab your oyster shucker and fire up the grill. This chargrilled oyster recipe is easy and tastes like the ones from Drago’s in New Orleans.

My oyster obsession comes from growing up in the Tidewater region of Virginia on the Chesapeake Bay, where I learned to eat them raw on the half shell, gobbled them up in an oyster stew, and swooned over fried oyster sandwiches.
When Scott and I visit New Orleans, chargrilled oysters are at the top of a very long MUST-EAT list. Usually, we’ll get them at Drago’s on Poydras street, but I admit the chargrilled oysters from Acme Oyster House in the French Quarter are pretty tasty too.
We love them so much that waiting for our next trip to the Big Easy for another oyster fix is out of the question. Luckily, they’re easy to make at home and ready to enjoy in about half an hour.

Using plump, fresh oysters in their shell, with Creole seasoning, butter and cheese, you can make this close replication of Drago’s Charbroiled oysters recipe on your home grill.
If you have a Creole or Cajun seasoning in your pantry, you can use it in this dish.
Otherwise, make my easy recipe for Creole seasoning from basic pantry staples like smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic and onion powder, dried oregano and thyme.
It adds a spicy New Orleans vibe to the chargrilled oysters, but you can use leftover spice as a tasty seasoning for chicken, pork, seafood, pasta, potatoes, and rice… it’s that versatile.
Since this recipe comes together very quickly, it’s essential to have the ingredients prepped and ready before you start shucking the oysters.

That’s it. Pretty simple, right?
I strongly recommend you take the proper precautions. Not only can the oyster shells be sharp, but the oyster shucker is pretty much a blunt dagger that can also cause injury.
You can use a gas grill or charcoal grill for cooking the oysters, and you’ll want it at a reasonably high heat, around 500°, maybe a smidge more.
If you don’t have a grill, or if it’s just too cold to go outside to fire it up, you can cook the oysters in your oven. Here’s how:
You can enjoy the oysters hot from the grill, but to round out this tasty appetizer, add a little hot sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Serve with a warm loaf of soft french bread to sop up the garlic butter sauce. Oh-ma-GAWD! So good!
