Grilled or Broiled Oysters with a Sriracha Lime Butter recipe on Food52

Review:  We were excited for this recipe since it reminded us of eating oysters at the beach.  These oysters are broiled so its hard to compare them to their raw counterparts, but we really enjoyed these and obviously they were very easy.

We walked to Whole Foods and picked out two varieties of Oysters (one from VA and one from MD).  The fishmonger shucked the oysters and put them over ice in a nice carrying tray.  We got home and put the oysters on a baking sheet with a dollop of butter and viola.  They were done in 4 minutes.

What I learned:  Even though oysters seem pricey, it only takes a few per person to impress your guests.

Tip:  Make sure to make your butter before you pick up your oysters.  I made the mistake of reading the recipe after we purchased the oysters, and had to rush to make the butter since we didn't want the oysters sitting out for long.

Final Thought:  Traditional raw oyster fans may not like the broiled/grilled variety.  For those of you who do not like oysters, this may be a good recipe to change your mind.  Much like a non-sushi eater starting with a California roll.
