Broiled Oysters Recipe

Directions

1. Shuck the oysters, discarding the top shell. Reserve their liquor (oyster liquid).

2. Place the oysters on a rimmed baking sheet, flat side up.

3. In a sauce pan, melt the butter. Add the shallots, and sauté them until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Add the vinegar, 6 Tablespoons of the oyster liquor and salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.

5. Spoon the shallot mixture evenly on top of each oyster meat.

6. Broil the oysters 5 inches from heat for about 7 minutes, or until the oyster edges curl and the liquid is bubbling.
