ANGELS ON HORSEBACK

Steps:

• Pre-cook the bacon slices: Working in batches if necessary, cook the bacon slices on medium low heat in a large frying pan, until only about halfway cooked, but not crispy. You need to pre-cook the bacon a bit or else when you cook them with the oysters the oysters will be overcooked by the time the bacon is crispy. Set the bacon aside to cool.
• Heat the grill: Get a grill or broiler good and hot while you wrap the oysters.
• Wrap bacon around oysters: To make an angel on horseback, you wrap 1/2 a piece of bacon around the small oyster and secure it with the toothpick. Overlap the edges of the bacon by about an inch if you can.
• Grill or broil: Grill or broil over high heat to cook the oyster and crisp the bacon, about 5 to 6 minutes on the first side Turn them over and grill another 2 to 4 minutes. You will need to turn them once or twice to get a good crispiness on all sides.
• Sprinkle with lemon or lime juice: As soon as they come off the heat, squirt with the lemon or lime juice and serve hot.
