Ingredients:
3 dozen Live Oysters
4 slices Bacon
4 Green Onions - finely chopped
¼ cup Green Bell Pepper - finely chopped
¼ cup Celery - finely chopped
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
3 drops Tabasco Sauce (or more if you like it spicy!)
¼ cup Panko Breadcrumbs (available in our Seafood Boutique)
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese - finely grated
Directions:
Shuck the Oysters, and set aside 18 of the deepest half shells for later.
Place two raw Oysters on each of the shells, and arrange them in a large baking dish (use two dishes if needed, don’t over crowd).
In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan, and drain on a paper towel. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Add the green pepper and celery to the bacon fat in the skillet, and cook on medium until softened. Add the green onions, lemon juice, tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce and mix together gently. Add the bacon last.
Spoon a small amount of the veggie and bacon mixture onto each Oyster.
In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over each of the Oysters.
Bake in an oven preheated to 400ºF for about 8 minutes. Once the tops are golden, remove from the oven and enjoy!
