Angels on Horseback

12 shucked oysters

12 slices bacon

½ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set a wire rack into a small baking dish.

Wrap each oyster with a slice of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley; set onto wire rack.

Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately. They aren t as good once they get cold.
