Oyster Pie

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 1-quart baking dish and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the salt, cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and melted butter.

Spread half of the oysters on the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the shallots and half of the parsley. Pour half of the butter mixture over the oysters, then sprinkle half of the cracker crumbs on top.

Make another layer, beginning with the remaining oysters, followed by the remaining shallots, parsley, butter mixture and crackers.

Pour the half-and-half into evenly spaced holes, taking care not to moisten the cracker crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb topping lightly with paprika.

Bake for 30 minutes or until topping is browned.
