Oysters with Brown Sugar–Chipotle Butter

Even if you're not an oyster person, you'll love this buttery, broiled approach.

Ingredients

2 dozen oysters (such as Blue Point, Wellfleet, or Malpeque), freshly shucked, on the half shell, with their liquid.
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 canned chipotle chile in adobo, finely chopped (about 1 tsp)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 tsp bourbon
1 1/2 tsp (packed) light brown sugar
Kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
  1. Step 1

    Mix garlic, chile, butter, bourbon, and brown sugar in a small bowl until smooth; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Heat broiler. Spread a layer of kosher salt on a rimmed baking sheet and arrange oysters on top (the salt will prevent them from tipping over). Place about 1/2 tsp butter mixture on each oyster.

    Step 3

    Broil oysters until butter is melted and sugar is beginning to caramelize, about 3 minutes.
