  2 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper
  2 cloves garlic
  1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  1/8 or 1/16 teaspoon crushed red pepper

  Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook,

stirring frequently, 4 minutes. Add the basil and crushed red pepper. Cook 1 minute. Add the oysters and

cook, stirring, just until the edges of the oysters begin to curl, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the skillet

place on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Makes 12
