cup
chopped shallots
3
tablespoons
dried tarragon

Instructions
Flip on the broiler or turn your oven to 500°F (260°C). Arrange rack to about 3-4 inches from the heat.
Arrange your oysters on a baking sheet, making sure not to spill any oyster liquor.
In a food processor, combine butter, corn meal, shallots, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Process until you've got a thick paste.
Using your hands, form about 1 tablespoon of butter into a disk shape. Place a disk on each oyster.
Slide the oysters into the broiler and cook until they are crisp and gently golden-brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and eat immediately.
