Oysters Kilpatrick with a Twist

Instructions:

1. 
   1 Prepare the Oysters

   • Preheat your grill on high. Shuck the oysters carefully and arrange them on a bed of rock salt on a baking tray to stabilise each shell.
2. 
   2 Mix the Bacon Glaze

   • Finely chop or crumble the bacon. In a small bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, and lemon juice. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and gently warm the bacon with the sauce mixture just until it starts to crisp, taking care not to overcook.
3. 
   3 Assemble the Dish

   • Spoon the bacon mixture generously over each oyster and finish with a light dusting of freshly ground black pepper.
4. 
   4 Grill the Oysters

   • Place the tray under the grill for 3-5 minutes, ensuring the bacon topping crisps up nicely while the oysters heat through without losing their natural juices.

   5 Serve

   • Immediately remove from the grill and serve the oysters hot with your preferred crisp white wine, offering a delightful starter or shared treat.
