                        Rock Salt
   1       tb           Butter
                        Paprika
                        Grated Parmesan Cheese

  Poach oysters in their own liquor for 2 minutes.          
  Sprinkle sherry over oysters.  Clean the bottom of the    
  deeper oyster shells and set them on a baking tray        
  covered with rock salt. Saute chopped celery in butter    
  and place 1 teaspoonful in each shell.  Place a           
  poached oyster on each bed of celery and cover with       
  Bechamel Sauce which has been mixed with a few drops      
  of melted butter over each oyster.  Bake in a hot         
  400oF oven until golden brown.  Serve with dark bread     
  and butter.
