serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

48 extra small oysters, shucked
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, or as desired
2/3 cup canola oil for frying (more if needed)

directions

Combine the flour with the Cajun seasoning, adding more or less as desired.

Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.

While the oil is heating, dredge the oysters in the flour mixture, coating each one well and shaking off any excess flour.

Remove the oysters to paper toweling to drain. Serve hot with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
