Oysters Bienville Ingredients

Method

Oysters Bienville Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully shuck the oysters and place them on a baking sheet with the deeper shell down.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add olive oil. Sauté the chopped mushrooms and green onions until soft. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, crumbled bacon, crab meat, Gulf shrimp, parsley, Italian bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Fill the Oysters

    Spoon the mixture generously onto each oyster in the shell.

  6. 6

    Add Cheese and Bake

    Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the filled oysters. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the shrimp is cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Oysters Bienville!
