Pan-Fried Oysters for 2

From http://inthekitchenwithkath.com

(Serves 2…but barely for real oyster lovers!)

1 10-oz jar of fresh oysters

About ¼ cup flour

½ teaspoon salt

A good shake of cayenne pepper, or to taste

Olive oil

Tartar sauce for serving (optional)

1. Combine the flour, salt, and cayenne pepper.

2. Drain the oysters in a strainer.

3. Dredge the oysters in the flour mixture and put them on a rack for a few minutes.

4. Put just enough olive oil in a large skillet to cover the bottom. Heat the oil over medium heat until it’s hot.

5. Put the oysters in the hot pan. Cook for just a few minutes until they plump up a bit. Gently turn them over to brown the other side. The timing will depend on the size of your oysters.

6. Serve with tartar sauce.
