Barbecued Oysters
1 dozen fresh Pacific Oysters
Prepare barbecue or grill. Place oysters on ungreased barbecue or grill 4 inches from hot coals or heat element. Be sure oysters are rounded side down so they cook in their own juices. If using a barbecue with a hood, lower the hood. If using a grill, loosely cover oysters with a tent of aluminum foil. Cook 7 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the oysters. Do not turn oysters during cooking. Shells may open slightly when oysters are done, but not always. Look for steam or bubbles around the fluted edges as a signal that they are ready.
