How To Shuck Oysters
Preparation:
Preheat the broiler of your oven. Drain oysters.
In a bowl, mix the wine, garlic, salt, pepper, and hot sauce together. Add drained oysters and toss to coat; let marinate 20 minutes.
Cut the bacon in half and cook in a microwave oven for approximately 1 minute
or pan fry until the edges begin to curl but the bacon is still flexible
(do not completely cook the bacon). Drain
well. .
Remove oysters from marinade, Wrap each oyster in
a bacon strip and secure with
a damp toothpick or cocktail pick, overlapping the bacon approximately 1 inch.
Place the bacon-wrapped oysters on a broiler
pan.
Cook the oyster and crisp the bacon approximately 5 to 6 minutes on the first side,
and another 2 to 4 minutes once you turn them over. You will need to turn them
once or twice to get a good crispiness on all sides.
NOTE:
You may also cook these "angels" on an outdoor or range top grill.
Serve with the cocktail pick, or the pick can be removed and the oyster placed
on a buttered toast round.
Serve with lemon wedges.
Makes 24 appetizers.
