Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with rock salt or coarse sea salt to keep the oysters steady while baking.
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and shallots, cooking until soft and fragrant (about 2 minutes). Stir in chopped spinach and parsley, cooking for another 2 minutes until wilted.
3️⃣ Enhance the Flavor: Add Worcestershire sauce, Pernod (or white wine), lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well and remove from heat. Mix in the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
4️⃣ Assemble the Oysters: Place the oysters on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the buttery spinach mixture onto each oyster, spreading evenly.
5️⃣ Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and slightly crispy.
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness!
