Ingredients

  • 1 dozen fresh oysters

  • ½ cup Kale leaves finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp shredded parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • With an oyster knife, open the oysters and remove the top leaving the oyster on the bottom half for layering the other ingredients.
  • Combine all other ingredients and spoon over each oyster.
  • Use a frog mat underneath the oysters so they don’t fall through the grates and let them smoke for 20 minutes or until the cheese has begun to slightly melt.
