Grilled East Coast Oysters With Corn Jalapeño Salsita Recipes

GRILLED EAST COAST OYSTERS WITH CORN JALAPEñO SALSITA

Steps:

• Light a fire in a charcoal or gas grill. Place the corn-without anything on it-on the grill grate. Grill the ears of corn, rotating the corn as needed to keep it from getting charred too much on one side, for about 7 minutes. (Don't overcook the corn, or it will become mushy!) Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Remove the kernels from the cobs and set aside.
• Meanwhile, squirt just a bit of canola oil on the tomato and onion slices. Sprinkle pepper on top. Place the onion slices on the grill. Add the tomatoes cut-side down on the hot grate and grill until both are nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the onion slices and tomatoes with tongs and continue grilling until the bottoms of the tomatoes (the rounded parts) are nicely browned and the onion becomes softer and fragrant, about 3 more minutes.
• Dice the onion and tomatoes and place in a bowl. Add the corn kernels and the jalapeño. Pour in the olive oil and vinegar and stir to combine. Season with salt. This can be done up to one day ahead of time; just bring the salsita to room temperature prior to serving.
• Place the oysters directly on the grates of the grill, close the cover, and cook until all of the oysters have opened, 4 to 5 minutes. Discard any oysters that have not opened on their own. Further open the ones that have started to open and top each one with 1 teaspoon of the corn and jalapeño salsita. Serve hot.

JALAPENO HONEY BUTTER GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F, setting one side of the grill to medium-high heat and the other side to low heat.
• Place the ears of corn directly on the grill grates on the medium-high side of the grill. Let char 2 to 3 minutes per side, about 10 minutes total.
• While the corn is grilling, in a 9-by-13-inch disposable aluminum baking pan, add the butter, honey and garlic. Place the pan directly on the grill grates on the low side of the grill. Stir occasionally to incorporate the butter and honey.
• Once the corn is done grilling and the butter is melted, remove the pan from the grill. Roll each piece in the baking pan, coating each side of the corn. When ready to serve, sprinkle with the crispy jalapenos and chili lime seasoning.

CORN OYSTERS

Steps:

• Put the frozen corn in a colander. Rinse it until the ice crystals melt.
• Pour the corn into a bowl.
• Stir in the milk, flour or corn meal, salt, and pepper.
• Lay paper towels on top of a plate and set it aside.
• Set a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.
• Heat the butter and oil in the skillet until the butter is melted.
• Put tablespoon-fulls of batter in the hot skillet.
• Cook until golden-brown. Repeat with the other side.
• Drain the oysters on the paper towels and cover with foil to keep them warm.
• Repeat with the others and serve hot.
