For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the butter mixture. If you're using particularly large oysters, you may need to adjust the baking and broiling times accordingly. Ensure the oysters are fresh and properly cleaned before cooking. A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving adds a bright and zesty finish.
