steps
- Prepare the compound butter: In a food processor or stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine butter, parsley, garlic, parmesan, and panko until a smooth consistency is reached. Set aside.
- Make the oysters: Prepare a charcoal (or gas) grill. Arrange oysters in a cast- iron pan and top each with ½ teaspoon compound butter. Grill over high heat, covered, until oysters are barely cooked through, about five minutes. Sprinkle lemon zest over top. Serve with lemon quarters and grilled bread.
