Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp essence , plus 1 tablespoon
16 freshly shucked oysters, about 1 pint, drained
1/2 cup masa harina
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
2 1/2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried thyme
recipe from new new orleans cooking , by emeril lagasse and jessie tirsch
published by william morrow, 1993.

Directions:

In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of the Essence. Add the oysters and marinate for 20 minutes.
Combine the masa harina and flour with the remaining Essence in a shallow dish.
In a deep-fryer or a medium, heavy pot with high sides, heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
Dredge the oysters in the flour mixture and shake the pieces in a strainer to remove any excess. Carefully add to the hot oil in batches, and cook, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the oysters with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and serve immediately.
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Yield: 2/3 cup
