Cape Carteret Oysters Williams--Aka Rockefeller

• 1 Peck Fresh Local Oysters in their shells, medium sized
• 1 Box Rock Salt
• 6 Slices thick bacon, chopped
• 1/2 Sweet Onion, finely diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 9 ounces Fresh Baby Spinach, chopped
• 1/3 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
• 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream
• 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Blackened Seasoning (Zatarains)
• Splash Worcestershire Sauce
• Splash Tabasco, to taste
• 1 teaspoon Anisette per Oyster
• 1 1/2 cups Toasted Buttered Bread Crumbs

1. Place oysters on a sheet pan, and into a 450 degree oven, or on a grill, just until oysters begin to open, about 5-10 minutes.
2. Remove and discard top shell, and loosen oyster from bottom shell.
3. Pour rock salt onto sheet pan to form a base for oysters.
4. Add bacon to medium sized skillet over medium heat and cook until browned and crisp. Remove bacon to plate and set aside. Leave just enough bacon drippings to cover bottom of pan, and discard the rest. Add onions to pan and saute until tender. Then add garlic and cook for another minute. Finally, add spinach and mix well with onions and garlic until spinach is wilted.
5. Remove spinach ingredients to medium sized bowl. Add Parmesan Cheese, cream, salt, pepper, blackened seasoning, Worcestershire, and Tabasco. Taste and adjust seasoning. Then step away from the bowl, or you'll eat it all before you ever get to the oysters!
6. Place oysters in their shells onto the salted sheet pan. Add one teaspoon Anisette to each oyster, and top with a sprinkling of the crisp bacon pieces.
7. Then add about one-half tablespoon of spinach mixture to each oyster. Top with a nice coat of toasted buttered bread crumbs.
8. Place pan in 450 degree oven for about 7 minutes, or until mixture is melted and bubbly over oysters.
9. Enjoy every single bite!
