Step 1
Shuck the 12 oysters, keeping the bottom shells and juices. Discard the top shells and any shell fragments.
Step 2
Finely chop the 1 small red chili and 2 tbsp fresh parsley. In a small bowl, mix with 1 tbsp olive oil and 0.25 tsp salt.
Step 3
Place the oysters on a hot grill, flat side down. Grill until the edges curl and the juices bubble, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the oysters from the grill and spoon the chili-herb mixture over each one. Serve immediately.
Step 5
For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of smoked paprika before serving if you have them.
