    Oysters: Garlic Oysters

    Source of Recipe


    From "Kevin Belton's New Orleans Celebrations"

    List of Ingredients


    • 1 cup butter, divided
    • ¼ cup garlic sauce
    • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
    • ¼ cup chopped parsley
    • ½ teaspoon salt, plus extra
    • Vegetable oil, for frying
    • 2 cups finely ground cornmeal
    • 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
    • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper, plus extra
    • 1 large egg
    • ½ cup milk
    • 24 freshly shucked oysters, reserving shells
    • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • Green onions, sliced, for garnish


    Instructions


    1. Place half the butter in a small saucepan over low to medium heat. Add garlic sauce, garlic, parsley, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes. Add remaining butter, cooking for additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

    2. Heat oil in deep fryer to 375 degrees.

    3. In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, Creole seasoning, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk egg and milk together and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

    4. Right before frying, dip each oyster in egg wash, roll in cornmeal, dip in egg wash again, then in cornmeal, and immediately place in fryer. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

    5. Place oysters back on shells and spoon a teaspoon of garlic butter over the oysters. Top with a pinch of Parmesan and green onion.
