Angels on Horseback

Makes 30 hors d’oeuvres.

12 ounces thawed oysters

½ teaspoon lemon pepper

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

10 strips of pork, turkey, or salmon bacon, cut in thirds

• Place an oyster on each piece of bacon and sprinkle with parsley and lemon pepper. Wrap bacon around oyster and secure with a toothpick.
• Place oysters on a broiler pan. Broil about 4 inches from source of heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Turn carefully. Broil 4 to 5 minutes longer or until bacon is crisp.

Storage

Keep frozen at or below 0° Fahrenheit (-18° Celsius) until ready to use.

Oysters frozen under these conditions should retain their quality for at least six to 12 months. NOTE: Oysters stored in frost-free freezers should be used within 3 months.

Thawing and handling instructions

To thaw, place the frozen oysters in a colander or sieve and place inside a bowl. Cover loosely and let thaw slowly in the refrigerator, at or below 38° F (3° C).

For quick-thawing, place unopened bag in cool water for 20 to 30 minutes, just until oysters are fully flexible.

Prior to cooking, do not allow oysters to reach temperatures above 38° F (3° C).

Once thawed, rinse gently with cool water to dissolve any remaining ice crystals, then cook immediately until done. Be careful not to overcook.

Note: Consumption of raw or partially cooked oysters creates a risk of serious illness, especially to people with medical conditions that compromise immunity. Vulnerable individuals should avoid eating raw or partially cooked oysters.

Serving suggestions*

Enjoy our oysters in diverse delicious ways:

• Make oyster tempura.
• Add to holiday dressings.
• Serve in stews and bisques.
• Bake, grill, steam, or poach and serve with pesto and savory sauces.
• Fry: Dip oysters in milk, then seasoned flour, and pan-fry quickly in extra virgin olive or macadamia nut oil.

*Note: Consumption of raw or partially cooked shellfish creates a risk of serious illness, especially to people with medical conditions that compromise immunity. Vulnerable individuals should avoid eating raw or partially cooked shellfish.
