Ingredients

12                        Fresh Shucked Oysters, On the Half Shell

1/2 lb                  Unsalted Butter

1 Tbsp                 Fresh Lemon Juice

1/2 Tbsp              Worcestershire Sauce

1 bunch               Green Onion, Finely Chopped

10                        Garlic Cloves, Pureed

1/2 tsp                 Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

1 1/2 Tbsp           Fresh Thyme, Finley Chopped

1 1/2 Tbsp           Fresh Oregano, Finley Chopped

1 Tbsp                 Creole Seasoning

1 oz                     White Wine

1/2 C                   Grated Romano Cheese

Preparation

1. Melt half the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add your lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, green onions and all herbs and seasonings. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then stir in wine. Keep stirring and remove from heat as soon as the green onions wilt. Let cool for 3-4 minutes. Add the rest of the butter and stir until completely incorporated.
   
   
2. Heat grill to 350°F Place oysters directly on grill, the shell will act as a pan. When the oyster liquor starts to bubble, spoon 1 tablespoon of sauce on top of each, then top with 1 tablespoon of Romano cheese. Let the cheese melt. When oysters begin to slightly brown at the edges, remove from grill and place on a heat proof plate or tray.
   
   
3. Top each oyster with an additional tablespoon of the butter sauce and serve immediately with slices of French bread for dipping.
