Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference. A pinch adds warmth, while more delivers a noticeable kick.
Fresh herbs, such as thyme and parsley, can be added at the end for a brighter flavor.
Ensure the oysters are fresh. The oyster liquor adds a wonderful flavor, so don't discard it.
Do not overcook the oysters, or they will become tough.
