Experience the seaside with these fresh oysters topped with a smoky blend of crisp bacon, tangy Worcestershire, and zesty tomato. The fusion of coastal charm and inner warmth is accentuated by aromatic garlic and parsley, creating an enticing flavour that dances on your palate with every bite.

Ingredients:

12 pieces Fresh oysters
8 rashers Streaky bacon
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Tomato paste
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
1 teaspoon Lemon zest
to taste Black pepper

Instructions:

1 Step 1 - Prepare the Oysters
Carefully clean the fresh oysters under cold water to remove any grit or sand. Shuck the oysters by gently prying open the shells with an oyster knife, ensuring you keep the oyster liquor intact. Arrange the oysters on a tray or baking sheet, keeping them steady using a bed of rock salt or a baking dish to prevent tipping.
2 Step 2 - Crisp the Bacon
In a hot skillet, add the streaky bacon rashers cut into small pieces. Cook over medium heat until the bacon becomes golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
3 Step 3 - Create the Topping
In a mixing bowl, combine the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, finely minced garlic, lemon zest, and freshly chopped parsley. Stir in the crispy bacon bits and season with black pepper to taste. This flavorful topping will bring a smoky, tangy, and herby layer to the oysters.
4 Step 4 - Assemble and Grill
Top each prepared oyster with a generous spoonful of the bacon-tomato mixture. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and carefully place the oysters on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the topping is bubbling and slightly caramelized. The oysters should be just cooked through but still tender.
5 Step 5 - Serve and Enjoy
Remove the grilled oysters from the heat and place them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Serve hot and enjoy the smoky, tangy flavors!
