Some shredded cheese some bread crumbs and some diced up bacon, plus 2 oysters per shell.
This was incredible. I left them in a few min too long but they never even made it to a plate.

They're equipped with a plate! Yummy stuff!
If you can buy them unopened, try putting them on the grill until they pop open a little. You'll have to finish the opening process, which isn't hard, but the results are good. There's probably a video for this somewhere.
Thats exactly how I do it. The day I learned what the grill does to these was the day i stopped shucking the old fashioned way.
Good Man! Stabbing self by oyster knife isn't fun. The little bit of grit inside is good for your gizzard too.
When i married the first time I lived in Midway, FL.
A coastal hick town between Ft. Walton Beach and Pensacola beach. That one lasted 2 years.
I quit plumbing for a year and leased a service station that had a walk in freezer.
In between rebuilding a car's engine or busting 18 wheeler's flat tires I sold groceries, staples, lots of BEER to go along with sacks of oysters. I believe that they were $35.00 a sack back then.
If they got over one week old I would take them home to put on the grill over a fire pit. Good stuff!!
I did it again. And also grilled a bunch. I've probably eaten over 100 oysters this weekend.
I added finely diced sauteed mushrooms to the Rockefeller this time too. Truly spectacular addition. I love food.
Typically Rockefeller has spinach in it,but if you don't like it bacon is good on everything ;D I like raw oysters also with moocho horseradish,LA hot sauce, & cocktail sauce with a :d or 2. The only thing missing there Jason is me.
At my retirement party we had raw oysters on the half shell,some on the firepit grill til they opened up.Fried alligator tail that I got from my pond ::) & boiled shrimp.
We used to go to Destin every year,Apalachicola oysters are some of the best I ever had. You could buy prawns right off the boat fer cheap & grill them bad boys.I am hungry now !!!
Yeah we were all out of spinach but I didn't realize that til it was too late. I did add some chopped parsley though.
All those oysters have caught up with me. Or maybe it was all the butter and cocktail sauce that went with them. My "moderation is for monks" outlook has its limits.
Next time I'll save you some. But airfare is on you.
I can drive down...I only got one Fla. trip last year...used to go at least 3-5 times/year & I am past due a beach trip!
Part of the beach experience for me is eating at a private owned seafood restaurant not a chain joint, usually a hole-in-wall the locals eat at.
Wow, a hunder't in a weekend, you gonna be "da man!" in da bedroom.
A pearl of wisdom from a man who should know. Right G?
You spelled bathroom wrong >:D :d
I like to do a compound butter - take a potato masher and mash cooked spinach (cooled and squeeze the water out) and crumbled bacon into the butter. Then you can roll it into a log with parchment paper and then plastic wrap (it'll look like a hot dog). Then you can freeze it (I put the log into a freezer bag) and when you need it cut coins from the log and place one on each oyster.
Even better is to sweat some minced onion with thyme and a little chopped garlic, diced roasted red pepper and add to the above.

haha I almost spit my coffee >:D ^-^
That was actually my original thought. That's a-lot of protein to digest easily. A younger guy is prolly better suited to it, though. I was a high volume meat eater in my formative years.
Sunday was rough. Not gonna lie. Worth it though.
;D I love oysters...
