Ingredients

8 select oysters
Oil for deep-frying
12 shrimp (21/25 count), peeled and deveined
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup flour
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp. canola oil
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. cracked black pepper


Method

Preheat grill to medium high.

Preheat fry oil to 350 degrees. Pour buttermilk into a small mixing bowl. In a separate bowl season the flour with salt and pepper. Place seasoned flour in a wide, shallow container for breading. Place panko bread crumbs in a separate wide, shallow container. Drain oysters and place them, a few at the time, in seasoned flour. Dust until evenly coated. Shake off excess floor, place them in the buttermilk wash, and coat well. Place immediately into the panko breadcrumbs and coat well. Deep-fry breaded oysters for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Place 5-6 shrimp on a skewer. Place skewered shrimp on baking tray and lightly coat with canola oil. Season with salt and pepper, and then place skewers on grill for 2 minutes on each side or until shrimp turns white. Toss grilled shrimp and fried oysters in a mixing bowl with the artisanal greens. Mix with some of the champagne-sweet-chili vinaigrette.
