Recipes from Cajun Country :: Cajun Main Dish Seafood
4 slices bacon
1/4 c. chopped yellow onion
1/2 c. chopped scallions (green and white parts)
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 quart freshly shucked oysters, drained
2 (9-in.) pie shells
1 Tbsp. butter, at room temperature
Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
Fry bacon in a skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble. Add yellow onion to bacon drippings in skillet and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly golden brown, 3 to 4 mins. Remove from heat and pour into bowl. Add bacon, scallions, parsley and cayenne pepper. Stir to mix. Add oysters and toss gently to mix.
Brush one pie shell with butter, then pour in oyster mixture and spread in an even way with a spatula. Roll out remaining pie shell and place on top of oyster filling. Prick with a fork. Bake until crust is lightly brown - 30 to 40 mins. Remove and cool slightly before slicing to serve.
Serves 4.
