Ingredients

• 24 medium sized fresh oysters in the shell
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon minced green pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon pepper
• 2 to 3 strips bacon

Directions

1. Wash the oysters and open them carefully so that no juice is lost. Discard the smaller upper shell; leave the oyster in the deeper half. Place in a shallow pan or pie plates. Pour a few drops of lemon juice over each oyster and add a bit of green pepper. Add salt and pepper. Cut the bacon into 1 inch squares, and place 1 on top of each oyster. Set the pans under moderate broiler heat until the bacon is crisp and the oysters plump.
