Simple Oysters in the Shell

• 24 fresh lemon slices
• Seafood cocktail sauce

How to Make It:

1. Clean each oyster shell top and bottom well.
2. The grill needs to be very hot to cook these.
3. Place the oysters shell and all on the grill.
4. Close the lid.
5. Check every 3 minutes or so and when the shells begin to open remove them from the grill.
6. Carefully open the shell being sure to retain the juice and the oyster in the bottom shell.
7. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the top each oyster.
8. Serve with the cocktail sauce.

Be carefully not to over cook these oysters. When the shell starts to open you want to remove them immediately. If cooked to long they will become rubbery.
