Pan-Fried Oysters Recipe w/ Baked Steak Fries

Dinner Tonight: Pan-Fried Oysters Recipe w/ Baked Steak Fries




For Breakfast this morning I made some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Heated up some Meijer Diced Ham, fried an Egg Sunnyside Up, and made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I made a bed of the Hashbrowns in a bowl and sprinkled some Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese.

Next I put the Diced Ham over top the Hash Browns then put the Sunnyside Up Egg on to top it off. After I finished Breakfast I went to McDonald's and picked up Breakfast for Mom and Dad. Back home finished up a couple of things around the house then went outside and got the leaf blower out. Cleaned off the deck and drive way areas of leaves. Had everything done so I watched a few shows I had recorded during the week. For Dinner tonight I prepared Pan-Fried Oysters Recipe w/ Baked Steak Fries and a Slice of Texas Toast.





I said a while back I was going to start having Oysters more often, and I have been. So anyway to prepare my Fried Oysters I’ll need; 12 large-medium Oysters (shucked), 1 tablespoon Flour, 1/4 cup Egg Beaters, 1 cup Shake and Bake Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs, Sea Salt and Pepper (to taste), 2 to 3 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil. Hot sauce, Seafood Cocktail Sauce are all optional.







I used Hilton’s Fresh Farm Raised Pacific Willapoint Oysters. To prepare them; Place shucked oysters in a colander rinse in cold water and drain. Dredge drained oysters in the Flour, then Egg Beater’s, and then in Panko Crumbs seasoned with Sea Salt and Pepper (coating each oyster thoroughly). Set aside to dry at least 1/2 hour. An easy way to coat the oysters with the Panko Crumbs is to place the Crumbs in a resealable plastic bag, add egg-dipped oysters, seal bag, and then shake.





Next, heat Oil in a frying pan (I like to use my cast-iron frying pan) to 370 degrees F. or until quite

hot. Fry oysters until golden brown on one side, then turn over each oysters carefully to brown the other side, approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side Fry oyster until golden brown and edges are curled. Do not overcook or overcrowd in frying pan. Remove from frying pan and serve immediately. Serve with Lemons Wedges, Tartar Sauce, Cocktail Sauce and/or your favorite hot sauce. I served mine with some Tarter Sauce with a side of my favorite hot sauce Frank’s Hot Sauce. I don’t know why I don’t have these more often! They’re so delicious, golden brown, and with an incredible fresh flavor.



For a side I baked some Ore Ida Steak Fries and had a side of Hunt’s Ketchup for dipping.Also baked

a loaf of Pillsbury French Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.
