Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh oysters
- 4 slices Streaky bacon
- 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tomato ketchup
- 1 whole Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoons Tabasco sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped
- 1 cup Rock salt or coarse salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven's grill/broiler to high heat.
Carefully shuck the oysters, removing the top shell, and loosen the oyster meat from the base shell. Leave them in the bottom shell and place them on a baking tray lined with rock salt to keep them stable.
Finely chop the streaky bacon slices and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the Worcestershire sauce, tomato ketchup, Tabasco sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly over the oysters in their shells.
Using a small spoon, drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the sauce mixture over each oyster, ensuring the bacon is coated.
Place the tray with the oysters under the grill/broiler and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and slightly caramelized.
Remove the tray from the grill and allow it to cool slightly for 1 minute.
Sprinkle the oysters with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
