Ingredients

• 12 pieces Fresh oysters
• 4 slices Streaky bacon
• 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Tomato ketchup
• 1 whole Lemon
• 0.5 teaspoons Tabasco sauce (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped
• 1 cup Rock salt or coarse salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's grill/broiler to high heat.

Step 2

Carefully shuck the oysters, removing the top shell, and loosen the oyster meat from the base shell. Leave them in the bottom shell and place them on a baking tray lined with rock salt to keep them stable.

Step 3

Finely chop the streaky bacon slices and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the Worcestershire sauce, tomato ketchup, Tabasco sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the sauce.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly over the oysters in their shells.

Step 6

Using a small spoon, drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the sauce mixture over each oyster, ensuring the bacon is coated.

Step 7

Place the tray with the oysters under the grill/broiler and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the tray from the grill and allow it to cool slightly for 1 minute.

Step 9

Sprinkle the oysters with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
