Scale
  • 12 fresh oysters, shucked and on the half shell
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Pernod or anise-flavored liqueur (optional)

  2. In a bowl, mix the butter, spinach, parsley, green onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and Pernod (if using).
  3. Arrange the shucked oysters on a baking sheet lined with rock salt or crumpled foil to stabilize them.
