OYSTERS

Ingredients:

  • 12 plump fresh oysters, shucked

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup panko or breadcrumbs

  • 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour

  • • 3 tbsp. hot sauce
    • 1⁄2 tsp. Creole or Cajun seasoning • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Cooking oil spray

    Directions:

  1. Prepare the oyster breading. In one bowl, whisk the eggs and hot sauce together. Put the flour in another. Crush the panko or breadcrumbs a bitmore and then place it in a third shallow bowl.

  2. Grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.

  3. Start breading your oysters. Cover them first in flour then shake off the excess before dipping each piece in the egg mixture. Again, shake the excess and then roll them around in the breadcrumbs.

  4. Place all of the oysters in the baking sheet. Once they’re all lined up, refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  5. Spray oil lightly on the fry basket. Take out the baking sheet from the fridge and place the oysters inside.

  6. Set the air fryer to 400°F and 2 minutes then start cooking. Shake the fry basket occasionally. Check the doneness of the oysters and cook it more if it hasn’t reached your preferred doneness.

  7. Once done, remove from the fry basket and sprinkle with salt.

  8. Serve according to your po’boy or simple greens recipe.
