Oysters

Method

Prepare the Oysters

1

Blackened Oysters

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush the oyster shells with the mixture and grill for 5-7 minutes until they are cooked through.

2

Broiled Oysters

Preheat the broiler. Place oysters on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil mixture and broil for 3-5 minutes until edges are bubbly.

3

Crispy Oysters

Preheat oil in a deep fryer. Dip oysters in a seasoned flour mixture, then fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Hushpuppies

4

Make the Hushpuppy Batter

In a bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir in chopped onion and buttermilk until just combined.

5

Fry the Hushpuppies

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot. Drop tablespoons of batter into hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
