Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup butter unsalted softened (1 stick)
  • tablespoon juice of lemon freshly squeezed
  • teaspoon garlic minced
  • 24  dozens oysters 
  • 0.5 cup barbecue sauce prepared
  • strips bacon crumbled cooked

Equipment

  • bowl
  • grill

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together butter, lemon juice, and garlic; set aside.
  2. Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill with the coals placed off to one side. When the coals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 3 to 4 seconds, you have medium heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
  3. Place oysters on grill near, but not directly over, coals. Top each oyster with 1 teaspoon barbecue sauce and 1 teaspoon butter mixture. Cook until oysters start to ruffle around the edges and juice is bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle oysters with bacon and serve.
