Jerk Broiled Oysters

Oysters topped with Morton® Coarse Sea Salt, thyme, breadcrumbs and jerk butter.

Morton® Coarse Sea Salt is used within the thyme breadcrumbs to garnish the oysters because it adds flavor and texture without overpowering the oysters.

Serving the grilled oysters on a bed of coarse sea salt helps retain their heat and stabilizes the shell.
