Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450&# 194;°F (230ðC).
-
Prepare a baking base by filling pie plates or a baking sheet with rock salt and sprinkling with water to create a stable surface for the shells.
-
Scrub oysters thoroughly under running cold water.
-
Shuck oysters by breaking off the thin end of the shell with a hammer or knife, then sliding a shucking knife between the halves to open.
-
Cut the oyster muscle to separate the meat from the top shell, discard the top shell, and place the oyster on the deep half of the shell.
-
Arrange the filled shells on the prepared rock salt base.
-
In a skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat.
-
Sauté onion, parsley, and celery until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in chopped spinach, bread crumbs, salt, red pepper sauce, and ground anise until well combined.
-
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture onto each oyster.
-
Bake for 10 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the oysters are heated through.
