Instructions

1. Melt butter over medium-low heat in a medium-sized saucepan. Add scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes or until just tender. Add garlic and Creole seasoning and cook an additional minute.
2. Add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, wine, thyme and pepper flakes to pan. Simmer gently until wine is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and cover pan, to retain warmth.
4. If using oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place 4 cups rock salt on a sheet pan with sides and spread evenly. Set oysters atop the salt and place on middle rack of oven. Do not jar oysters and keep as much oyster liquor in shell as possible When the oyster liquor starts to bubble slightly, after 6-8 minutes, remove from oven and divide Romano over oysters. Return to oven and continue baking until cheese has melted and oyster edges are beginning to brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven, divide and spoon Creole sauce over oysters, and serve.
5. If using grill: Preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Carefully place oysters on grill (using a grill pan is helpful); do not jar oysters and keep as much oyster liquor in shell as possible. When the oyster liquor starts to bubble, sprinkle Romano over each oyster. Let cheese melt. When oysters begin to slightly brown at the edges, remove. Spoon sauce over each oyster and serve.
