(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.
