- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 whole lemon

Mix panko with the garlic butter in a bowl, breaking up clumps. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Arrange oyster shells on a baking sheet, nestling them so they sit flat and won't tip.

Spoon panko-butter mixture onto each oyster, dividing evenly. Press gently so it sticks.

Broil 3 inches from the heating element for 4–5 minutes until golden brown and sizzling.
