Makes 12 appetizers.

Preparation time:15 minutes.

Cooking time: 3 minutes.

Step 1:

Buy the oysters the day you plan to cook. After shucking them, leave them on the half shell and reserve the liquor. Cover the oysters and liquor and refrigerate.

Step 2:

Preheat the broiler. Line a broiling pan or shallow baking pan with the rock salt or a layer of crushed foil. Cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise, then lengthwise. In a small bowl, mix the parsley with the garlic.

Step 3:

Place the oysters in their shells in the prepared pan. Top each oyster with a piece of bacon, then about 1/2 teaspoon of the parsley mixture. Top each oyster with a little white wine, oyster liquor, and a drop of red pepper sauce. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 3 minutes or until the oysters curl at the edges and the bacon browns. Serve immediately.
