I couldnt find a good grill recipe for these tender morsels, so I created one… they turned out wonderful!
How To Make grilled oysters, no shell needed!
- 1 Cover a piece of grilling mesh with heavy aluminum foil making rimmed edges so the juices are contained. Oil lightly. Prepare wood charcoal grill adding any wood smoke that you like with seafood or chicken.
- 2 Mix butter, crushed garlic, parsley and Cajun spice (or any spices you prefer)
- 3 Drain a dozen or so of oysters, dry each with paper towel and place on oiled aluminum foil. Dot each one with the butter mixture.
- 4 When outdoor grill is ready, cook oysters on indirect heat, turning occasionally, checking for firmness. Move each one over the coals and brown until they show grill marks and turn a slight brownish red color.
- 5 Serve with hot sauce or any of your favorite dipping sauce for oysters. ENJOY 🙂

Shell no! We don’t need any shells to enjoy oysters. If anything, the hard work of shucking is taken care of with these ready-to-go oysters.
We love getting a little extra milage out of our deviled egg platter when serving baked oysters. If your stuffing threatens to overflow a deviled egg platter, feel free to use individual metal muffin cups or oven-proof soufflé cups.
Just like in-shell oysters, shucked oysters can be steamed too! All you need is a vegetable steamer pan or insert. Lightly grease the steamer pan with a little pan release spray and, once hot, add the oysters (again, not overcrowding the pan), and steam for 2-3 minutes until soft and tender. The trick with steaming shucked oysters is that they can over cook quickly, so keep a close eye on them. You’re looking for steamed oysters that are still a little jiggly but not rubbery.
We love serving our sautéed oysters with good crusty bread or toast points to soak up all that tasty goodness. For a more complete meal, serve your sautéed oysters with rice or pasta and your favorite sautéed vegetables.

How long do you cook oysters in a steamer?
Place the steamer pan (or basket) over boiling water and cover with lid. The boiling water should not touch the oysters. Steam until the oyster shells open. Most people prefer a 5-minute steam depending on the size of your oysters. At 10 minutes, the oysters will start to overcook and get tough and rubbery.
How much water do you need to steam oysters?
Try to use a pot that can hold at least 8 quarts of water. Your pot needs to be able to fit a steaming basket or colander, as these are used to hold the oysters themselves. Bring the water level to about halfway up the pot. Keep a transparent lid handy, as you’ll want to watch the oysters getting steamed.
