Method

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

  • 2. In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tbsp. of the butter.
  • 3. Reduce the heat to low and add the shallots and wine.
  • 4. Cover and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • 5. Season with salt and pepper and add the chicken stock and the remaining 2 tbsp. of butter.
  • 6. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat and stir in the herbs.

  • 7. Cover the bottom of an ovenproof baking dish large enough to hold all the oysters with rock salt.
  • 8. Sprinkle the peppercorns evenly over the salt.
  • 9. Open the oysters, discarding the top shell. 10. Loosen the oysters from the bottom shell, being careful not to spill their juices, and lay them in the baking dish.
  • 11. Stir the shallot mixture and spoon some over each oyster.
  • 12. Roast until the edges of the oysters just begin to curl, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • 13. Serve on the baking dish with lemon wedges.
