2 cups chopped fresh spinach
1/4 cup Pernod (Anise flavored liqueur)

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium high heat.
Sauté the garlic for 2 minutes to infuse the butter.

To the remaining garlic butter in the sauté pan, add shallots and spinach, cook for 3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Deglaze the pan with Pernod.
Season with salt and pepper and a dash of red pepper sauce.
Allow the mixture to cook down for a few minutes.
Finish the bread crumbs by mixing in olive oil, Parmesan and parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of the spinach mixture on each oyster, followed by a spoonful of the bread crumb mixture.
