Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh oysters, shucked
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 pieces Lemon wedges
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Gently rinse the shucked oysters under cool water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, combine the flour with the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In the third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each oyster in the seasoned flour, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured oysters into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Press the oysters into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure they are completely covered. Gently press the crumbs onto the oysters to ensure they adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium-sized skillet or deep saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Carefully lower the breaded oysters into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried oysters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the panko fried oysters immediately with lemon wedges, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
