charbroiled oyster

• 32 oysters, on the half shell
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter-unsalted
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (use Parmagiano Reggiano)
• 1/4 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese
• 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley

Heat the grill over medium-high heat.

Melt the butter with the garlic and pepper in a large skillet. Mix the Parmagiano and Romano cheeses in a small bowl.

Spoon some of the melted butter mixture onto each oyster. Add a pinch of the combined cheeses to each oyster, add a pinch of parsley, then place on the grill. Grill the oysters until they are hot,bubbly and puffed, about 8-10 minutes.
