Directions:

For the Parmesan-Horseradish Butter:

Turn on the side burner.
Place cast iron skillet on the side burner, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once melted, turn the heat off and add the rest of the ingredients, except the Parmesan.
Set aside.

For the Oysters:

Preheat the grill on medium-high heat.
Place the oysters, flat side up, resting between the bbq grill grates.
Close the lid of the BBQ and allow the oysters to cook for 3-5 minutes on medium high heat, until the oysters pop open.
Using heat resistant gloves and tongs, carefully transfer the oysters to the cutting board.
Using heat resistant gloves, holding each oyster level, and with the other hand, using an oyster shucker or knife, carefully remove the top shell from each oyster, cutting off the oyster meat and leaving in the bottom shell with the juices.
Repeat until all oysters are done.
Add 1 tbsp of the horseradish sauce on top of the oysters and carefully place back onto the grill, resting them in between the grill grates.
Close the lid and allow them to cook for 1 minute.
Open the lid and add 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan cheese on top of the oyster and close the lid and cook until all the cheese has melted and bubbling, turning slightly brown.
Serve immediately with garlic bread and a fork!
