Oysters are a quick-cooking appetizer, especially when broiled. The oysters are broiled on the half-shell, which doubles as a serving vessel. Topped with a spicy tomato cream and sprinkled with a buttery, cheesy topping full of crunch, these easy hors d'oeuvres are perfect for passing around a party.

Some Cajun seasonings are saltier than others. Look for low- or no-salt added blends so you can control the sodium level.
