4 strips bacon
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup roughly chopped shallots
1/4 cup roughly chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup roughly chopped celery
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves picked
Pinch cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 medium-sized (approximately 4 inches) West coast oysters on the half shell
1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped for garnish

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2
Lay bacon out on a roasting pan in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes until just crispy - remember they will be going back into the oven with the oysters so you don't want to finish the bacon just yet.
3
While the bacon is cooking, put the butter, garlic, shallots, bell pepper, celery, lemon juice, oregano, and cayenne pepper in a food processor; pulse until well combined, but still has texture.
4
Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5
Remove bacon from oven and cut each slice into 6 so you have a total 24 pieces.
6
Lay oysters in their half shells out on a large roasting pan in a single layer.
7
Place 1 tablespoon of the casino butter mixture on top of each oyster and place a piece of bacon on each.
8
Bake oysters in the hot oven until bubbly, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
9
Finish with finely chopped, fresh flat-leaf parsley and serve.
