Dear SOS: We were in Metairie, La., recently and had dinner at Drago’s Restaurant. We ate the most delicious charbroiled oysters. We would appreciate your help obtaining this recipe.

Dear Sylvia: We used Pacific oysters because they’re big and easier to get here than Louisiana oysters. You were right. The recipe is most delicious.

1

Heat the grill over medium-high heat.

2

Melt the butter with the garlic and pepper in a large skillet.

3

Mix together the Parmesan and Romano cheeses in a small bowl.

4

Put the oysters on the grill. Spoon some of the melted butter mixture on each oyster. Add a pinch of the combined cheeses to each oyster, then add a pinch of parsley. Grill the oysters until they are hot, bubbly and puffed, about 8 minutes.

If you have trouble opening some of the oysters, put them on the grill a few minutes until they open. Remove the top shell, then drizzle with butter and sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Grill until hot, bubbly and puffed, 2 to 3 minutes.
