BBQ Oysters and Olives

Peter J's Note:

Nice and different way to prepare freshly shucked oysters on the BBQ. The quantities below are what I used but just do it to taste depending on the size of the oysters and olives. It might be stating the obvious but you will need to be an oyster / olive lover to enjoy this.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 2

Yield: 6.0 oysters

• 6 oysters, shucked with lower half of shell retained
• 12 green olives, pitted (stuffed ones are fine)
• 6 teaspoons mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Finely cut each olive into four slices and layer eight pieces over each oyster in the shell.
2. Top with a teaspoon (or to taste / fill shell) of shredded mozzarella.
3. Grind black pepper over the top to taste.
4. Place over medium heat on BBQ grill plate and cook until cheese has melted and starts to bubble.
5. Reduce heat and let it simmer around five minutes.
6. Place on plate and let them sit a few minutes before serving.
