Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450F.

Fill a baking pan large enough to hold all the oysters with a deep (1/4") layer of rock salt.

Embed the oysters, shell side down, in the rock salt. Remove the membranes and seeds from the green pepper before chopping.

Combine the shallots, parsley, green pepper and celery. Squeeze all the juice from the lemon into the mixture.

Thoroughly cream the mixture. Put a piece of the mixture on each oyster. The bacon should be only half cooked.

Place 1/2 teaspoon of pimento and a piece of bacon on each oyster on top of the butter mixture. Bake until the bacon is browned (5 to 8 minutes).
