Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are white-hot and spread them in an even layer.
2. Rinse the oysters under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Scrub the shells gently with a brush to clean them thoroughly.
3. Using an oyster knife or a sturdy, pointed knife, carefully pry open the oysters by inserting the blade into the hinge and twisting gently until the shell pops open. Discard the top shell and loosen the oyster from the bottom shell, but keep the oyster sitting in its natural juices.
4. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Placed the shucked oysters directly on the grill grate, keeping them level to prevent the juices from spilling out. You can also use a specialized oyster grilling tray or a layer of rock salt on a baking sheet to keep them stable.
6. Spoon a generous amount of the butter mixture over each oyster, making sure they are well coated.
7. Close the grill lid and let the oysters cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the edges of the oysters start to curl, and the butter mixture is bubbling.
8. Carefully remove the grilled oysters from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Remember to exercise caution when handling oysters, as their shells can be sharp. Additionally, be sure to consume only fresh oysters from reputable sources. Grilled oysters are best enjoyed right off the grill while they are hot and flavorful. Enjoy!
