Steps
Step by Step Guide to Making Fried Oysters Wrapped in Bacon Seafood Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh shucked oysters
- 8 slices of thick-cut bacon, cut into halves
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups buttermilk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
Step 1: Start by shucking the oysters and removing them from their shells. Discard any damaged or discolored oysters.
Step 2: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to make the flour mixture for coating the oysters.
Step 3: In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until they turn golden brown. Then, add the buttermilk to the beaten eggs and stir well.
Step 4: Take a piece of bacon and place an oyster in the center of it, folding the edges of the bacon over the oyster to seal it.
Step 5: Dip the bacon-wrapped oyster into the flour mixture, making sure to coat it thoroughly. Then, dip it in the egg mixture and roll it in the flour mixture again until it's fully coated.
Step 6: In a deep fryer or large pot, heat enough oil to fry the oysters. The oil should be around 350°F.
Step 7: Once the oil is heated up, carefully place the bacon-wrapped oysters into the hot oil and fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 8: Remove the bacon-wrapped oysters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9: Season the fried oysters with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 10: Serve the fried oysters warm, garnished with chopped parsley and enjoy your delicious seafood treat!
