Baked Oysters Remick - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 -15 raw oysters, shucked (reserve the cupped end of shell)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chili sauce
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 dash Tabasco sauce
2 -3 slices bacon, cut in 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1/2 - 1 lemons (optional) or 1/2-1 lime, sliced (optional)

Preparation

Combine mayonnaise with chili sauce, mustard, paprika and Tabasco.
Dip oysters into seasoned mayonnaise until thoroughly coated. Return oysters to their shells or place them in a buttered gratin dish big enough to hold the plump oysters.
Top each oyster with a square of bacon and place under broiler for 5 minutes or until bacon is cooked. The amount of time is dependent on your broiler. I have several settings.
Remove and sprinkle bread crumbs and return to the oven and broil for additional 1-2 minutes until bread crumbs are browned.
Garnish with parsley and slice of lemon or lime before serving.
