Grandma Winifred's Traditional English Scalloped Oysters (Low Carb Version)

This is a traditional side dish that my 
English Grandmother served on holidays 
 and that I made Keto adjustments to.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup soft Keto bread crumbs (cut crust off of bread and grind in a blender or food processor)**
1 cup pork panko*** 
1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter, melted
3 cups of oysters in jars with liquid
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 
2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons heavy cream 
1 teaspoon horseradish
1 teaspoon sriracha

Method:
Preheat oven to 350*. Mix both types of crumbs with the melted butter. Place half of crumb mixture on the bottom of a greased 1 quart casserole or 8 inch square baking dish. Layer with half of oysters, reserving liquid. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and half of parsley. Layer with remaining oysters, salt, pepper and parsley. Strain the oyster liquid and mix 1/3 of liquid with the Worcestershire, cream, horseradish and sriracha. Pour over the oysters. Top with the remaining crumb mixture. Bake, uncovered until puffy and golden brown, approximately 30 minutes. If desired, serve with Tabasco or sriracha sauce. Serves 4 - 8 persons as a main course or side dish.

**If you do not have Keto bread, you may substitute additional pork panko for the crumbs.

***Pork Panko may be purchased online and at some Walmart grocery stores.

Nutritional info per serving (1/8 of dish), made with only pork panko, approximately:

Notes:
The recipe above is very similar to the scalloped oysters that my Grandma used to make and just as tasty. If you like oysters you will enjoy this traditional side dish!
