Easy Oysters Rockefeller
Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 4
Yields: 12 Oysters Rockefeller
Ingredients
- 12 raw oysters (on the half shell. If frozen, remove from freezer about 20 minutes before continuing)
- 1⁄4 cup butter (only use real butter for this, please)
- 1 slice bread, pulsed in a blender to make fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon finely diced onion
- 1 finely diced garlic clove
- 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 raw shrimp, finely minced (optional but delicious)
- 1⁄4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Directions
- Step 1) Arrange oysters on a baking pan with shallow sides. To prevent shells from tipping, first add a 1/4 inch deep layer of coarse salt to the bottom of the pan.
- Step 2) Prepare your filling. Melt butter in a skillet. Add bread crumbs, onion, and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add spinach, lemon zest, and shrimp (optional). Saute for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Step 3) Using a small spoon, divide filling evenly on top of the oysters. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
- Step 4) Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 5 minutes. If oysters are still partially frozen, they may need an extra minute. [Side note: some folks think 5 minutes of baking is too long. I prefer to err on the side of food safety. Use your discretion.].
- Enjoy!
