Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and arrange a baking sheet lined with foil. Carefully shuck 12 fresh oysters, leaving them in their half shells on the baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: In a small saucepan, melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 finely chopped shallot, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1/4 cup Irish whiskey, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Simmer the mixture gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes syrupy.
  4. Step 4: Spoon about 1 tbsp of the whiskey glaze onto each oyster, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Place the oysters under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, watching closely until the glaze bubbles and develops a light caramelized crust.
  5. Step 5: Remove oysters from the oven and garnish each with a sprinkle of 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for an authentic Dublin-inspired appetizer.
