Grilled Pop-Up Oysters

These grilled oysters offer a sophisticated yet remarkably simple way to enjoy fresh seafood at home. By cooking them briefly on a hot grill, the shells pop open naturally, preserving the delicate, briny juices inside. The addition of a refined herb butter, infused with fresh sage, chives, and a hint of Sherry, provides a rich and savoury finish that perfectly complements the natural saltiness of the oysters.

As a diabetes-friendly appetiser, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in lean protein. It makes a stunning starter for a dinner party or a light summer lunch when you want maximum flavour with minimal preparation. Serve these immediately while the butter is melting into the warm oysters for the best possible experience.
