Grilled Oysters with Charred Corn Salsa

Grilled Oysters with Charred Corn Salsa

Ingredients

  • 2 ears sweet corn, husked
  • 2 jalapeño chiles
  • 3 scallions
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Coarse salt (sea or kosher)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste

Oyster Ingredients

  • 1 dozen fresh live oysters
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

Serves: 2 to 4 as an appetizer

Method: Direct grilling

You’ll also need: An oyster rack (optional); an oyster knife

  1. Set the EGG for direct cooking to 500°- 600°F/260°- 315°C.
  2. Brush and oil the grill grate.
  3. Make the salsa:
    • Brush the corn with melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
    • Arrange the corn, chiles, and scallions on the grate and grill, turning as needed, until the corn and scallions are darkly browned and the chiles are charred and blistered.
    • Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
  4. Cut the corn kernels off the cob and place in a medium bowl. Stem and seed the chiles, then finely dice. Thinly slice the scallions crosswise. Add the chiles and scallions to the corn.
  5. Stir in the dill, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. (The salsa can be made several hours in advance.)
