This is an easy and delicious way to cook oysters, but make sure that the oysters you purchase are fresh and still alive. To ensure freshness, tap the top of the shell with your fingers. If the oyster is still alive, it will shut its shell tightly; if it does not, discard it. Prior to grilling, keep the oysters in the refrigerator. Store them with the cupped-shell side down so that the liquid does not leak out, or they will become dry. After grilling, discard any unopened oysters, as this is an indication that the oyster is not safe to eat. This dish can be served as an appetizer or main course. Just remember that the cooking time will vary depending on the size of your oysters.
