Instructions: HOGWASH: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using. Serve over Barbequed Oysters. (Makes 1 1/2 cups)

RED OYSTER SAUCE: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add remaining ingredients, except basil, and simmer until butter is brown, about 15 minutes. Roughly chop basil; add to sauce right before serving. Serve warm over Barbecued Oysters. (Makes 1 cup)

OYSTERS: Heat grill until very hot. Place oysters on grill. When shells open (in about 3 minutes) use an oyster knife to detach oyster from top shell. Loosen top shell and discard. Spoon a tablespoon of Hogwash or Red Oyster Sauce over oysters before serving.

Serves 6 to 8.
