Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine butter, herbs, garlic and salt, mixing well to ensure all ingredients blended. Set aside, or if not using immediately, refrigerate.
- Preheat grill to high.
- Shuck the oysters with a shucking knife, using a shucking glove or other type of hand protection. Take care to keep the liquid inside intact, as it adds to the flavor of the oyster.

- Cover the grill and let cook another 3-4 minutes.
