Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh oysters, shucked
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, coconut flour, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to form the breading mixture.
Step 2
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well blended to create the egg wash.
Step 3
Pat the shucked oysters dry with paper towels to ensure they are free of excess moisture.
Step 4
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4-inch deep in the pan. Test the heat by dropping a small amount of the breading mixture into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Step 5
Dip each oyster into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 6
Transfer the coated oyster to the breading mixture and press to adhere the breading evenly around the oyster.
Step 7
Carefully place the breaded oysters into the hot oil. Fry the oysters in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 8
Cook oysters for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried oysters and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the crispy fried oysters immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
