Broiled Oysters (Choose the finest and largest)

Choose the finest and largest oysters, being careful to see that no particles of shell remain among the oysters. Dry with a clean linen cloth; sprinkle pepper and salt over them, and roll in finely-sifted cracker. Put on a gridiron over a bright quick fire, and as soon as they plump, plunge each one into a bowl of melted butter; place on a hot dish and garnish with curled parsley.
