Maryland Oyster Skillet-Roast Recipe
Ingredients:
- 36 large shucked oysters, drained, with oyster liquor reserved for later use
- 1/2 pound butter, melted
- Freshly ground black pepper
How to cook Maryland Oyster Skillet-Roast:
- Line bottom of a large heavy skillet with oysters in a single layer. Cook over low heat, turning 2 to 3 times carefully with tongs, until oysters brown a little and the edges just begin to curl.
- Pour off or spoon any oyster liquor, as it collects, from skillet, and add to drained liquor.
- Measure out 1/4 cup oyster liquor, and reserve remaining liquor for another use. Stir this liquor with butter in a small heavy saucepan until just sizzling. Remove from heat and pour hot butter mixture in a chafing or other serving dish that will keep oysters warm while being served. Sprinkle oysters with freshly ground black pepper.
- Remove oysters from skillet with tongs and arrange in hot butter in the serving dish.
- Oysters may be spooned on toast points or served on small squares of toast.
