Fried Buffalo Oysters

Name: Fried Buffalo Oysters
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 2 h 23 min
Yield: Makes 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients: 2 pints fresh Select oysters, drained; 2 cups buttermilk; 1 cup all-purpose flour; ½ cup yellow cornmeal; 1 tablespoon paprika; 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder; 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano; 1 ½ teaspoons ground red pepper; ½ teaspoon dried mustard; ½ teaspoon salt; ½ teaspoon ground black pepper; Vegetable oil; ½ cup melted butter; ½ cup hot sauce; 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; Ranch dressing; Celery sticks

Selects are rather large shucked oysters—which makes them the perfect size for battering and deep-frying. A unique twist on the tangy buffalo wing, fried oysters are crispy on the outside and meltingly rich and creamy on the inside. These fiery bites are a bit spicy, so it’s best to have a side of cool ranch or blue cheese and trimmed celery sticks nearby. Serve at your next tailgate party for the ultimate crunchy starter.
