Emerils Andouille Crusted Oysters With Spinach Coulis Food

EMERIL'S ANDOUILLE CRUSTED OYSTERS WITH SPINACH COULIS

Steps:

• Preheat the fryer.
• For the oysters: In a saute pan, render the andouille for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic and continue rendering for 1 minute. Remove from the stove and cool slightly. In a food processor, add the andouille, bread crumbs, and Essence, blend until fully incorporated. Dredge each oyster in the flour. Dip the oyster into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Dredge the oysters in the andouille crust, coating each side completely. Place the oysters in the fryer and fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and their edges start to curl. Remove from the fryer and place on a paper-lined plate. Season with Essence.
• In a mixing bowl, toss the greens with the Spinach Coulis. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Mound the greens in the center of the plate. Dot the rim with any remaining dressing. Arrange the oysters around the greens. Garnish with the shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano, bread sticks, and black pepper.

GRILLED OYSTERS WITH LEMON GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• In a bowl combine all ingredients except the oysters and mix thoroughly to combine. Transfer butter mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and roll up to form a tight log and freeze until firm.
• Preheat a grill to high.
• Place the washed oyster shells on a baking sheet and top each shell with 1 oyster. Remove the butter from the freezer and unwrap. Slice the butter into 24 rounds and place 1 round on top of each oyster. Place the oysters on the preheated grill and cook until the oysters are just cooked through, curled around the edges and the butter is melted and bubbly, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Serve immediately.
