Dressed-Up Oysters

 
Makes: 18 oysters

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces bacon, chopped
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1½ dozen oysters on the half-shell
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Ice cream salt, for garnish

Instructions

  • Move the oven rack to a position about 5 inches from the broiler. Preheat the broiler.
  • In a small skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until browned and crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet.
  • Add the shallot to the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and stir to release the browned bits from the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds.
  • Arrange the oysters on a rimmed baking sheet and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges are curled. Spoon the shallot mixture over the oysters and sprinkle with bacon and parsley. Nestle the oyster shells in ice cream salt to serve.
