Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour with 1 tsp Cajun seasoning, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Dredge 12 fresh Gulf oysters in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oysters and pan-sear for 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp chopped capers, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp hot sauce to create the remoulade sauce.
  4. Step 4: Slice 4 French rolls lengthwise and toast lightly. Spread remoulade sauce evenly on each roll.
  5. Step 5: Layer each roll with 1/4 cup shredded romaine lettuce, 3 pan-seared oysters, and slices from 1 medium tomato. Serve immediately.
