If you’ve never cooked oysters on the grill, you’re in for a treat.

Grilling oysters whole saves you the trouble of shucking them–they magically pop open when cooked.

A simple garlic herb butter adds richness and a bright pop of flavor to this impressive appetizer.

To pretty it up use Irish butter, which is extra-golden because Irish cows typically enjoy an all-grass diet.

Heat butter and garlic in a small saucepan until melted, about 1 minute.

Grill oysters, cupped-side down, until they pop open and the meat is firm, about 5 minutes.

Discard any that do not open.

Run an oyster knife or paring knife under the meat to separate it from the top shell.

Top each oyster with a little of the herb butter and serve immediately.
