Oysters En Brochette

Oysters en Brochette Recipe

MAKES APPROXIMATELY 12 – 15 SKEWERS

Ingredients
4 – 8 cups peanut oil (depending on fryer size)
2 (12-ounce) boxes Zatarain’s Fish-Fri
1/4 cup Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning 
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 quarts oysters, drained
1 pound bacon, partially cooked in microwave, then cut into square pieces
wooden skewers

Directions
1. Fill fryer with peanut oil. Heat to 375 – 400 degrees. 
2. Combine fish fry and Tony Chachere’s in a bowl. 
3. In a separate bowl, mix eggs and milk to create eggwash. Dip oysters in eggwash and place oysters and bacon on skewers. Note: Use wooden skewers, and make sure they are short enough to fit lengthwise in the fryer. Dredge skewers in the fish fry mixture. 
4. Place skewers into the fryer. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes, until golden. (Brooke suggests frying only 2 skewers at a time.) 
5. Drain on paper towels and serve.
