Charbroiled Oysters


Weirdly enough, for all the oysters I've eaten in all the ways I've tried, I'd never had them cooked in the shell from underneath.  Broiled from above, sure, lots of times.  Anyway, we fixed that in high style at Mr. Ed's on St. Charles Avenue on Sunday evening (web site here, menu here).  And they were good.
So, what's the basic charbroiled (or chargrilled) oyster?  Some mix of garlic, butter, maybe a few herbs, with parmesan cheese sprinkled, onto a bunch of oysters on the half-shell.  Grill it from below until it seems ready and voila.  If you want something more formal, here's a list of recipes:
As with espresso drinks, there are many, many variations, and nearly all of them are very good.
