Make herb beer butter by whipping softened unsalted butter in a KitchenAid stand mixer on medium speed for 5-7 minutes until light and fluffy.

Add Pilsner beer, finely diced shallots, finely minced garlic, lemon zest, fresh squeezed lemon juice, finely chopped parsley, finely chopped tarragon, crushed red pepper flakes, and sea salt to the whipped butter and mix until combined.

Shuck Blue Point oysters, discarding one half of the shell and placing the oyster on a sheet tray.

Add about a teaspoon of the herb beer butter to each shucked oyster.

Preheat the KitchenAid Smart Oven+ with the grill attachment to medium or medium-high heat.

Place the oysters on the grill attachment using tongs.

Grill the oysters for 10-13 minutes until the butter is melted and the oysters firm up.

Remove the oysters from the grill and finish with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese.

Serve the oysters on a platter with sea salt and optional micro greens.
