SCALLOPED OYSTERS

1 1/2 pints shucked oysters

1 cup melted butter

1 cup crumbled saltines

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce

1 cup cream

Drain the oysters and reserve the liquor. Melt the butter and mix into the cracker crumbs. Season with the pepper. Butter a baking dish liberally. Spread half the crumbs into the dish. Place the oyster evenly over the base. Warm the cream, oyster liquor, and the remaining seasonings in a small pan. Pour this over the oysters. Top with the other half of the crumbs. Dot with butter and bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is browned.
