Oysters in Shell Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Oysters in Shell Recipe, first select fine, fat oysters in the shell. Wash the shells carefully, open; put on each oyster on the half shell a small bit of butter, a grating of leeks, some very finely grated parsley and a sprinkle of dry cracker crumbs; a suspicion of salt and pepper. In opening see that none of the liquor of the oyster is lost, as it is needed for moisture. Make the covering very thin and bake in the shell on a flat pan in the oven for ten minutes, or until the shell takes a slight tinge of brown. Serve very hot with breadsticks.
