Paula Dean's Chargrilled Oysters

12 fresh oysters in the half-shell
2 sticks butter, melted
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan French bread, optional

Prepare your grill for direct grilling. When coals are white hot, place 12 oysters, shell side down directly on the grate. Pour melted butter over each oyster. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and grill for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and serve with French bread for dipping, if using.
