Shuck each oyster and keep side of shell that has a deeper cup. Then sauté onion, butter and spinach. Once onions turn a slight golden brown with “wilted” spinach, remove mix from the stove and add cheese, lemon juice and pepper and stir. Set aside. Obtain a large cookie sheet and evenly spread the sea salt over the sheet and impress the 36 shells evenly. With a spoon, scoop an oyster in each and then add the spinach mix. Bake at 450°F for 7 minutes and magically serve your seafood fans!
