Oh, Shucks
Up the ante on oysters with a little embellishment

Bread oysters in dry mixture. In a large pot fitted with deep-fry thermometer, heat peanut oil to 370 degrees. Fry oysters until golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Grilled Oysters with Hot Miso Butter
Combine 2 tbsp. soft butter, 1½ tsp. white miso, and ⅛ tsp. cayenne. On the grate of a medium-hot grill, place a dozen oysters cupped-side down, cover, and grill until oysters start to open, about 2 minutes. Remove from grill, open oysters, and top with miso butter.
