Cooks' Note
The ramakis could also serve 4 as a light entrée. As hors d’oeuvres, stick a toothpick into each to make them easier to eat.

Preparation
Preheat the broiler. Lay one oyster on each strip of bacon. Top each with 1/4 teaspoon parsley, and sprinkle with salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Roll the bacon strips up around the oysters.
