On a recent visit to the market Dom returned with a larger-than-usual quantity of the lumpy mollusks which were originally intended as an appetizer while several slabs of ribs smoked on the grill. However, they soon turned into an appetite quashing refection.

To Grill the Oysters:
Place the oysters on the hot grill so that they're resting on their deeply curved halves of their shells, this way their juices don't run. Make sure oysters do not overlap. Lay a wet rag towel over the oysters and cover the grill. Allow the oysters to cook until the oysters open, about 5 minutes. The oysters will pop open slightly (you can usually hear the "pop"). Once they are all open, remove them to a serving plate with tongs trying to keep the liquor inside.
