Directions:

1

Watch how to make this recipe

2

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F

3

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

4

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

5

Season with salt and pepper, to taste

6

Remove bacon from oven and cut up into pieces

7

Lay oysters in their half shells out on a large roasting pan in a single layer (you can use rock salt or a sheet of crumpled foil to steady them)

8

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

9

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

10

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