      Yield: 6 servings 
  
      1 c  Rice                                1 ea French bread loaf 
     36 ea Oysters                             1 ea Butter, seasoning 
  
  Boil the rice and keep hot and dry. Cut off the top crust of the bread. 
  Hollow out the inside.  Fry the oysters.  Butter the inside of the loaf 
  well and place in the oven to brown.  Fill with the hot fried oysters. 
  The top of the loaf of bread may be buttered, toasted and placed on the 
  oysters to retain the heat, although the oysters stay more crispy if 
  served uncovered.  Serve on a platter with hot boiled rice which is 
  seasoned, dotted with butter, and garnished with minced parsley and 
  paprika.  Yield: 6 servings. 
  Note: A finely minced clove of garlic may be used to flavor the butter.
