Ingredients

  • 24 pieces Shellfish, oysters

  • 120 g Meat, pork, smoked bacon

  • 20 g Butter, unsalted

  • 0.5 teaspoons Spices, pepper, black

  • 1 piece Lemon, fresh, without shell

  • 1 piece Lime, fresh

Steps

  1. Turn on the broiler in the oven. Scrub the oysters with a brush soaked in saltwater. Rinse them under running water and dry them with a cloth. With a special knife, cut the muscles that close the shells and carefully open the shells (be careful not to let the salty water spill out). Discard the top half of the shell and arrange the bottom halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. Cut the bacon slices into small pieces. Add a few pieces of bacon to each half shell. Add a small piece of butter and season with pepper to taste. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 5 minutes, until the bacon is crispy.

  3. Cut the lemon and lime into wedges. Serve the oyster halves on a large plate or platter and accompany them with lemon and lime wedges.
