MMMMM-------------------------SALT PASTE------------------------------
    1/2 c  Kosher salt
  1 1/2 tb Water

MMMMM--------------------------OYSTERS-------------------------------
      1 lg Leek; halved lengthwise,
           - washed
      2 tb Minced bacon
      1 c  Heavy cream
      1 cl Garlic; minced
      1 tb Lemon
      1 ts Smoked paprika
    1/2 c  Panko breadcrumbs
        pn (ea) salt & pepper
      8 md Oysters; shucked, meat
           - removed & chilled, shells
           - cleaned & reserved
 
  Shuck oysters, remove meat and chill in the refrigerator
  until ready to use. Clean and reserve the shells
  
  Combine water and kosher salt to make salt paste. Set
  aside
  
  Preheat grill or broiler to high. Char leek halves,
  split-side-down for 3-4 minutes. Remove leeks to a
  cutting board when cool enough to handle and slice thinly
  
  Place leeks to a small saucepan. Add heavy cream and
  simmer over medium-low heat, 20-25 minutes, until sauce
  is very thick
  
  Meanwhile, cook minced bacon in a small sauté pan over
  medium heat until very crisp, about 10 minutes
  
  Remove from heat and to the pan with the bacon add
  garlic, lemon zest, smoked paprika and breadcrumbs. Mix
  to combine ingredients and season with salt and pepper to
  taste
  
  Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC
  
  In a baking dish, place 8 mounds of salt paste (to
  stabilize the oyster shells while baking; 4 oysters are
  demonstrated in the video but the recipe makes enough
  sauce and breadcrumb mixture for 8 oysters)
  
  Place one reserved oyster shell on each mound of salt
  paste. Remove cream mixture from heat and spoon about 1
  tbsp into each shell
  
  Place oyster meat on top and pack breadcrumb mixture on
  each oyster
  
  Bake for 7 minutes (or broil on high 2-3 minutes).
  
  Transfer to a serving platter atop mounds of salt paste
  and serve.
