Ingredients:

2 cloves

Garlic (minced)

2 tsps

Lemon Juice

1 pinch

Cayenne Pepper

Directions:

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

2

Lay bacon out on a roasting pan in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes until just crispy - remember they will be going back into the oven with the oysters so you don't want to finish the bacon just yet

3

While the bacon is cooking, put the butter, garlic, shallots, bell pepper, celery, lemon juice, oregano, and cayenne pepper in a food processor; pulse until well combined, but still has texture

4

Season with salt and pepper, to taste

5

Remove bacon from oven and cut each slice into 6 so you have a total 24 pieces

6

Lay oysters in their half shells out on a large roasting pan in a single layer

7

Place 1 tablespoon of the casino butter mixture on top of each oyster and place a piece of bacon on each

8

Bake oysters in the hot oven until bubbly, approximately 10 to 12 minutes

9

Finish with finely chopped, fresh flat-leaf parsley and serve
