Best Panned Oysters With Garlic And Paprika Recipes

PAN FRIED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil to 370-375 F.
• In the meantime beat eggs, beer, salt, pepper, garlic, onion powders and cayenne if using.
• Mix the flour and Panko bread crumbs in another bowl.
• Dip the oysters in the egg wash mixture and thoroughly roll them in the breading. Arrange them onto a pan sheet.
• Fry for about 1-2 minutes per side depending on the oysters size until they turn golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.
• Briefly drain on paper towels and serve while still hot. Garnish with lemon wedges.

PAN FRIED OYSTER PO' BOYS WITH GARLIC-ONION SLAW

Steps:

• Combine the cornmeal, flour, breadcrumbs, salt, cayenne and paprika in a pie plate. In another pie plate, whisk together the egg and buttermilk. Add the oysters to the egg-buttermilk mixture and turn gently with a large spoon to coat. Remove the oysters, one by one from the egg mixture with a pair of tongs and place in the crumbs. Turn several times to coat evenly with the crumb mixture, then transfer to a plate and let stand for 10 minutes.
• While the oysters "rest," make the garlic-onion slaw. Place the cabbage and sliced onion in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic, sugar and hot sauce. Add to the cabbage-onion mixture and toss to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
• Heat 1/4-inch of oil in a large skillet to 350°F (medium-high). Best if using enough oil in the pan to be equal to about 1/2 the thickness of the oysters. Test the temperature of the oil by adding a pinch of the dry crumb mixture - if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready. Add 1/2 the oysters and fry until golden brown and crispy, turning once, about 2-1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and blot very gently. Repeat with the remaining oysters.

GRILLED POP-UP OYSTERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, blend together butter, shallot, sage, chives, Sherry, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
• Light a grill. Put oysters, flat side up, over a hot fire and grill until oysters pop open, 2-3 minutes. As they open, carefully transfer to a plate, keeping juices in shell. Take off top shell, add a dab of butter mixture, and serve right away.
