Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Parmesan Mushroom Rice

    In a pot, heat 1 tablespoon of creole butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and garlic, sauté until soft. Add white rice, stir for 1 minute, then pour in chicken broth. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Once done, fluff with a fork and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese.

  2. 2

    Cook the Seafood

    In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup of creole butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink (about 3-4 minutes). Add the crabmeat gently to warm it through, then season with lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Crispy Louisiana Oysters

    In a separate pan, heat oil for frying. Dredge oysters in seasoned flour and fry until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, spoon a generous portion of the Parmesan mushroom rice. Top with the shrimp and crab mixture. Arrange crispy oysters on top. Drizzle with additional Creole butter if desired. Serve hot.
