  • 12 slices bacon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
Instructions
  1. Drain oysters. Cut each bacon strip in half.
  2. Place one oyster on a half strip of bacon. Sprinkle with a little of each seasoning, and some of the chopped parsley. Roll the bacon around the oyster and secure with a toothpick.
