No need to fire up the barbecue or go out in the rain. These oysters are cooked in a cast iron skillet and ready in 15 minutes.
This is truly the easiest and quickest way to enjoy fresh oysters. And no stabbing your hand!
Don’t worry if the month doesn’t have an R in it. Oysters are farmed and they are sterile.
If you have room in the skillet add some sliced shiitake mushrooms.

Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
6 fresh oysters
favorite barbecue sauce
favorite hot sauce
Directions
- Place a cast iron skillet over medium high heat and add a half inch of filtered water.
- Add Liquid Smoke.
- Carefully place oysters in skillet. Make sure they are level and deep side is down.
- Cover and cook until they open. About 10 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat.
- Hold each oyster with a kitchen cloth or paper towel to protect your fingers from the hot shell, taking care not to spill the juices inside, and use your fingers to lift up and twist the top shell to remove it and expose the salty goodness. It shouldn’t be very difficult.
- Top each with barbecue sauce and a dash of hot sauce.
- Use a chef’s butane torch to lightly sear the top of each one.
- Serve immediately in the skillet.
