Prepare the oysters. Combine the flour & cracker meal & dredge the oysters in the mixture. Let the oysters sit, refrigerated, for 20 minutes. Heat the oil to about 350°F on medium heat. Add in the butter (optional for flavor).
Fry the oysters until crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. The oysters are done when they are golden brown & crispy. Transfer the fried oysters to a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with sea salt & serve hot with spicy cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.
Chef’s Note:This is a great recipe for the holidays and goes well as croutons on a salad or as part of the dressing in a Thanksgiving turkey!
Prepare & bake brownie mix as directed on the package for 8″ or 9″ square baking pan. Remove from the oven. Immediately use round handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes at 1″ intervals down through the brownies to the pan.
Pour cold milk into a large bowl. Add the pudding mix. Beat with a wire whisk for 2 minutes. Stir in a few drops of each color food coloring to tint the mixture orange. Quickly pour about ½ of the thin pudding evenly over the warm brownies & into the holes. Let remaining pudding mixture stand to thicken slightly. Spread the remaining pudding over top of the brownies to “frost”.
Refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve. Cut into 2″ squares. Cut each square diagonally into triangles.
