Ingredients
Scale
- 18–24 shucked oysters
- 6–8-ounces raw lobster meat, diced (3 lobster tails)
- 1 1/2 sticks salted butter
- 3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Old Bay
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2-ounces fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
- Cracked black pepper, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place a small pot on the grill. Add butter, garlic, paprika, Old Bay, and black pepper. Allow the butter to melt and start to bubble.
- Add the lobster meat and spinach to the pot. Cook until the lobster meat just turns opaque.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice.
- Arrange the shucked oysters on the grill. Spoon the lobster mixture into each oyster shell.
- Top each oyster with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Close the grill cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the oysters are bubbly and the cheese is browned.
- Carefully remove the oysters from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle on a touch more lobster cream sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and cracked black pepper.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
- ENJOY!
Notes
- Use medium to large-sized oysters.
- If possible, choose oysters with a flat base to keep them steady on the grill.
- For ease, ask you fishmonger to shuck them for you.
- If you have to shuck your own oysters, take precaution and use an oyster glove or thick towel.
- Keep as much of the oyster liquor as possible, in the shell.
- Adding rock salt to the serving platter, will help keep the oysters steady.
- Raw lobster meat is best (can use from tail, claw or a combination of both).
- If using cooked lobster meat, do not add until the incorporation of the heavy cream, as you will only need to heat the lobster meat through.
- Serve immediately, for the best enjoyment.
