Ostras en brocheta

Oysters en brochette is a traditional American-Creole dish originating from New Orleans. It's made by skewering raw oysters and pieces of bacon. Once done, the dish is breaded or broiled, then deep-fried or sautéed. During the frying process, the bacon juices seep into the oysters, giving them a smoky and sweet flavor. The skewers are served on a plate, then topped with a sauce consisting of butter, lemon juice, and vinegar. Traditionally, oysters en brochette are served as appetizers, garnished with triangles of toasted bread and lemon wedges on the side.
