Ingredients




12 Oysters, in the shell
3/4 cup Bread crumbs
3 tablespoons Flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 Garlic clove, crushed
1/2 Lemon, juice of
Olive oil, to taste
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Preparation

1 The next best alternative to raw. Oyster aficionados Marie and Richard tested this recipe too, reaffirming in the process the oyster's aphrodisiac power over them:"Oysters take us back to our honeymoon in New Orleans when we consumed about 3 to 4 dozen a day. Perhaps that memory contributed to the fun we had now, three years later, grilling oysters together and eating them in our make-do, candle-lit picnic in the living room floor." 2 Preparation Steps 3 Estimated Time: 30 min1 Remove the top shell of the oysters (the top shell is flat as opposed to the bottom shell which is cup shaped), being careful not to lose the liquor. (It will make a nice juice for the oysters to simmer in.) 4 2 Combine the bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl. Spoon on each oyster. Sprinkle with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. 5 3 Grill for 12 minutes or until the bread crumbs are golden. 6 4 For a simpler version, simply clean the oysters, place on medium-hot grill, and remove when they begin to open. Shuck, squeeze with lemon, et voila. 7 Serves: 2 - 12 oz portions 8 Yield: 1 1/2 lb
