Garlicky Bacon Smoked Oysters Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together butter, lemon juice, and garlic; set aside.
• Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill with the coals placed off to one side. When the coals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold it there for 3 to 4 seconds, you have medium heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
• Place oysters on grill near, but not directly over, coals. Top each oyster with 1 teaspoon barbecue sauce and 1 teaspoon butter mixture. Cook until oysters start to ruffle around the edges and juice is bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle oysters with bacon and serve.

Steps:

• Cut the bacon strips in thirds.
• Wrap a bacon slice around each oyster and place a toothpick through to hold it in place.
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil, and add the garlic.
• Cook the wrapped oysters in oil until the bacon is crisp.
• Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high heat.
• Combine the butter, garlic, the juice from the lemons and a few pinches of salt and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter melts. Stir together the parsley, Parmesan and Romano in a medium bowl.
• Arrange the oyster shells on the grill grate. Spoon the butter mixture over the oysters. Add the bread to the grill cut-side down and cook until grill marks appear, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the bread from the grill. Cover the grill with the lid and cook until the oysters begin to reduce in size, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Spoon the parsley mixture over each oyster, cover the grill and cook until the cheese is melted and the oysters are cooked to desired doneness, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer. Remove the oysters to a serving platter. Serve immediately with the bread.

Steps:

• Poach the sausages in water for about 15 minutes or until just cooked; cool.
• Slit the sausages almost in half and fill with the oysters; wrap the sausages in the bacon.
• Barbecue or grill, turning, until the bacon is cooked and sizzling.

Steps:

• Briefly blanch oysters by filling half-shells with water from a boiling kettle and draining after two minutes by turning upside down for a few minutes then lightly patting dry with a paper towel. They might fall out of the shell while doing this so use a clean surface.
• Drizzle about a 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil over each oyster and place a few small slices of bacon in each one.
• Prepare fish smoker with the woodchips and smoke oysters for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the whipped onion cream cheese on each Ritz crackers then top with a smoked oyster. And enjoy!

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until shrunken, but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the sugar, soy sauce and garlic with a fork. Wrap each oyster with a piece of bacon, and secure with toothpicks. Place wrapped oysters into the dish with the sauce.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sauce has thickened and bacon is nicely crisped at the edges.
