Talk about pedigree: Washington state’s Hama Hama Seafood Store fell in love with this sweet-and-spicy sauce after having it at Hog Island Oyster Company. They modified the original, then shared their take with us. If you’re not a raw oyster person, this buttery, broiled treatment should be in your repertoire.

Preparation

Step 1
Mix garlic, chile, butter, bourbon, and brown sugar in a small bowl until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat broiler. Spread a layer of kosher salt on a rimmed baking sheet (about 2 cups) and arrange oysters on top (the salt will prevent them from tipping over). Place about 1/2 tsp. butter mixture on each oyster.
Step 3
Broil oysters until butter is melted and sugar is beginning to caramelize, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
DO AHEAD: Butter can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
