Oysters?

Ok, so my husband brought home some oysters he was given from a guy at work, and I have NO idea what to do with them. I have never cooked oysters, nor have I ever tried one. They are no longer in the shell, they are just in a plastic container, and there is a bunch of them. They look slimy and kind of gross. I am a texture person when it comes to food, so this may be difficult. Anyway, I need HELP! If anyone has a recipe for oysters, please pass it along. Thanks!
