    Since 1920, Kingsford Charcoal has been the gold standard of grilling—giving BBQ lovers that classic smoky wood-fired flavor we all crave.

    Kingsford Original Charcoal and Smoked Oysters with Spicy Miso Butter

    You know how just one neighbor lighting a BBQ makes us all either… 1. Run out to start our own BBQs? Or 2. Close the windows as fast as possible and vow not to step outside for the next 4 hours? Honestly! It should be illegal to fire up a charcoal BBQ in the close proximity of others unless they plan on cooking enough to share. Amirite? Fire up the grill and invite friends over instead of hibernating inside all grilling season. Just make sure to always have Kingsford Charcoal on hand!

And with this free cookbook from Kingsford, there’s no shortage of fun food ideas! Check out the Kingsford Major League Baseball recipe book then head to your local Fred Meyer or Kroger store to save on Kingsford Charcoal and pick up everything you need to grill up all 30 delicious regional recipes.

    Ingredients for Smoked Oysters with asian inspired compound butter made with Kingsford Charcoal and Fred Meyer

    Simply fresh oysters, compound butter and toppings. The butter is a simple mixture of umami-rich white miso paste, lime juice and sriracha hot sauce. After it’s melted onto the smoked oysters and topped with sliced scallion and togarashi, it really knocks it out of the park!

    • Fresh live oysters 
    • Spicy Miso Butter – room temperature butter, white miso and sriracha mixed together and rolled into a log this compound butter can be stored refrigerated for up to a month and frozen for up to 6 months. Simple compound butters can really elevate any dish—especially smoked and grilled foods. This Spicy Miso Butter is amazing on grilled seafood, bread, asparagus, corn on the cob and so much more!
    • Lime
    • Scallions
    • Shichimi Togarashi seasoning – a common Japanese condiment, togarashi seasoning has a bright ctirusy flavor with spice, ginger and sesame among other things. Having trouble findiing togarashi? Substitute your favorite all-purpose seasoning, make your own togarashi, or simply sprinkle red chile flakes over top.

    Step by step instructions

    1. Start with the freshest live oysters you can find. Check to see if the oysters are alive by confirming that shells are tightly closed; discard any that are not tightly closed. Scrub oysters with a stiff brush under running water. Rinse well and refrigerate until ready to grill. Shuck and loosen oysters from bottom shell when ready to serve.

      The only “smoked” oysters I’ve ever had came out of a can, and I didn’t like them — but this is a whole new level and they look and sound fabulous! We grill our oysters (from the Chesapeake Bay) but I think we need to step up our seafood game, now!
