RALEIGH, N.C. — Our Cook like the Pros series continues with this recipe from STIR Executive Chef Heather Miro.

Make sure to use some fresh North Carolina oysters!

Recipe: Grilled oysters
  • 6 oysters of your choice
  • 6 teaspoon of scampi butter (see recipe)
  • 6 teaspoons of parmesan cracker crumb (see recipe)
Scampi compound butter
  • 1 pound butter softened
  • 1.5 cups parsley chopped
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped garlic
  • .33 cups of shallots
  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse blend until smooth.

The scampi butter recipe can be cut in half but it makes a great compound butter just to have in the fridge to top off salmon, steak, or even to make a shrimp scampi!

Parmesan Cracker
  • half cup parmesan
  • half cup saltine crackers

Evenly spread parmesan on a lined sheet tray into a 350* oven cook until golden brown approximately 10 minutes. Remove and let cool until the cheese is crunchy. Place cooled cheese and crushed saltines in a food processor pulse until evenly distributed.

Grilled Oyster Directions:
  • Shuck oysters
  • 1 teaspoon of scampi butter for every oyster this goes on before putting oysters on the grill
  • Place oyster on a medium heat grill (gas/charcoal)
  • When butter completely melts pull oysters off the grill, add your parmesan cracker and serve
