T'S PAN-FRIED OYSTERS image

These delicious oysters are lightly crunchy on the outside and soft and delectably succulent on the inside. They make for a very quick and easy meal. Just add a side salad and some garlic bread and you have dinner in no time; perfect for Valentine's day. Most folks know that oysters are a purported aphrodisiac, but did you know that they are a good source of zinc, a mineral vital to the immune system?

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pint(s) shucked fresh oysters
1 cup(s) self-rising flour
1/2 cup(s) cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon(s) louisiana seafood seasoning (more or less to personal taste)
pinch(es) salt to taste
canola or vegetable oil for frying
cocktail sauce for serving

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse oysters, examining each for any bits of shell.
  • To a one gallon food storage bag, add one cup self-rising flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal and 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning; shake well to combine.
  • One at a time, add oysters to the flour, shaking bag after each addition. Set aside.
  • Add about 1/4 to 1/3 inch of oil to fry pan. Heat over medium/medium-high heat until oil begins to shimmer (not smoke!)
  • Gently shake the oyster bag to cover any moist spots on the oysters with flour. Carefully place floured oysters, one at a time, into the hot oil. Fry for approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove to absorbent paper.
  • Plate and serve immediately with your favorite cocktail sauce.
