Oyster Casino Recipe

Oyster Casino Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Oysters

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the oysters under cold running water to remove any debris and dirt. Shuck the oysters, reserving half of the shells for grilling, and place them on a grill-safe tray.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

3. 3

   Make the Topping

   In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and melt it over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped fennel, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Then, add the crumbled bacon, dry sherry, bread crumbs, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined and cook for another 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Assemble the Oysters

   Spoon the bacon and breadcrumb mixture generously over each shucked oyster, using a tablespoon to create a nice mound on top.

5. 5

   Grill the Oysters

   Place the tray of oysters on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the oysters are cooked through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove the oysters from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the grilled Oyster Casino with lemon wedges on the side.
