Oysters Roasted in the Shell
Oysters
Butter (Optional)
Lemon Juice (Optional)
Salt and Pepper (Optional)
Wash the oyster shells clean and wipe dry.
Place in a baking pan and put in a hot oven for about twenty minutes.
Serve on hot dishes the moment they are taken from the oven.
Though this is not an elegant dish, many people enjoy it, as the first and best flavour of the oysters is retained in this manner of cooking.
The oysters can, instead, be opened into a hot dish and seasoned with butter, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
They should be served immediately.
