Grilled Oysters

Step 1: Build a medium heat fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to medium.

Step 2: Grill lemons, cut side down and herbs until charred (8-10 minutes for the lemons but only 5 minutes for herbs); let cool slightly.

Step 3: Squeeze juice from lemons in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Transfer herbs to cutting board, discard stems and mince and stir into the lemon vinaigrette.

Step 4: Spread salt (the 5 cups coarse salt)in a 9 x 13 inch metal baking dish. Nestle oysters into the bed of salt and place dish on the grill and cover with grill lid; grill until oysters are plump and beginning to curl at the edges (only a few minutes). Transfer to serving platter drizzled with lemon vinaigrette.
