NEW ORLEANS' DRAGO'S GRILLED OYSTERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. Ideally, the grill should hit 500 F. In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter. Mix the melted butter with the garlic, pepper, and oregano. Reserve in a small bowl.
• Place the oysters on the half shell right over the hottest part of the grill. The oyster shouldn't be cut loose from the shell as they can slip and fall right through the grill.
• Spoon enough of the seasoned butter over the oysters so that some of it will overflow into the fire and flame up a bit. The oysters are ready when they puff up and get curly on the sides, about 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Top the oysters with the cheese mix and parsley. Serve on the shells immediately.

BLACKENED FRIED OYSTERS WITH LEMON COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all sauce ingredients together and refrigerate.
• Mix together flour, cornmeal, blackened seasoning and kosher salt. Dip each oyster in the eggs, then into the flour mixture. Allow to sit while heating the oil.
• Heat 1/2 inch oil in a cast iron skillet until almost smoking. Without crowding or touching, fry on both sides until golden. Remove to a platter covered in paper towels to drain.
• Serve with a side of sauce and a lemon wedge to garnish.

SAUTéED OYSTERS WITH WINE AND HERBS

Steps:

• To shuck the oysters, you need a clean kitchen towel and a short sharp knife with a good handle. The towel will protect your hand from the knife and will help you keep the oyster in place.
• Make sure all the oysters' shells are tightly closed. Inspect and discard any oyster that's open or that appears to be open. When in doubt, go the safe route and discard any suspicious oysters. Open oysters can harbor dangerous bacteria.
• With the help of a stiff brush, vigorously scrub the oysters under cold running water. This will help get rid of any debris or sand that might still be attached to their surface.
• Place the oyster on a towel, rounded side down. Holding the oyster in the towel, insert the tip of the oyster knife into the hinge, which is on the flat side of the oyster. Once the knife is in the hinge, firmly twist the knife. The oyster should easily pop open. Continue with the remaining oysters.
• Drain the juice of each oyster out into a small bowl. Scrape the oyster meat from the shells onto a plate.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
• Add chopped onions and sauté until just softened, or about 4 minutes.
• Add the tarragon and wine, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Add oysters to the pan and cook just long enough for them to curl at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Shake the pan from side to side to keep the oysters coated with the buttery sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Enjoy!
