Oysters with Horseradish Cream

Oysters possess a natural affinity for horseradish—a fact appreciated by anyone who has passed an hour or two at a raw bar. In this recipe the horseradish is folded into unsweetened whipped cream, which melts as it hits the hot oysters. Nothing can beat the pungency of freshly grated horseradish, but the bottled product will produce highly delicious results, too.
