Ingredients
- Fresh parsley
- a handful, finely chopped
- Lemon wedges
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Fresh oysters
- 12 oysters, cleaned and shucked
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Ensure it is clean and ready for smoking.
- Prepare the oysters by shucking them carefully. Place the shucked oysters on a baking sheet.

- Using a basting brush, gently apply the seasoned olive oil mixture onto the oysters, ensuring they are well-coated.
