Oysters Kilpatrick is a simple and delicious Australian dish and my favourite way to eat oysters! Fresh shucked oysters served in the shell and topped with bacon bits and Kilpatrick sauce!
Living in a small rural town, fresh seafood is few and far between but luckily every now and then a seafood lorry comes to town. This week I was able to get some fresh oysters from Jetts Seafood and Oysters Kilpatrick was the first thing on my mind!
How to Make Oysters Kilpatrick
There are only three small basic steps to a simple Oysters Kilpatrick recipe
Step One – fry bacon until slightly crispy
Step Two – mix together tomato sauce (ketchup), worcestershire, and tabasco to make the sauce
Step Three – top fresh, shucked oysters with sauce and bacon bits and cook
