Instructions
Dice bacon and cook until crispy. Drain and discard rendered fat. Reserve half the cooled bacon for later.
½ pound bacon
Whip room temperature butter until fluffy then add half the ketchup, whipping until completely incorporated. Then stir in sun dried tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and the remaining cooled chopped bacon.
1 cup butter , ¼ cup ketchup, ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons Tabasco , ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Meanwhile, shuck oysters discard top shell. Loosen oysters from bottom shell and nestle into a rock salt lined baking dish to hold them somewhat level so the juices don’t spill.
3 dozen oysters
Top each oyster with a teaspoon of ketchup and a tablespoon of Kilpatrick compound butter, followed with a few pieces of chopped bacon.
Broil on high until mixture is bubbly and slightly caramelized, 3-4 minutes.
Serve immediately as is, or with lemon wedges, parsley, and additional hot sauce.
