Broiled Oysters, in the Shell (or on the Half-Shell) Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Broiled Oysters, in the Shell (or on the Half-Shell) Recipe, first wash off the outside of the shells and dry them. Open and remove the upper shell, lay them on a broiler and broil over a clear, hot fire, or under a gas flame. As soon as done put small bits of butter on each one, dust with a little salt and pepper, and serve in the shells with quarters of lemon.

To Broil without Opening

Wash the shells, lay them on a broiler, and put them directly on a bed of hot coals. As soon as the shells pop open they are done. Serve melted butter and lemon juice with them.
