Grilled Oysters With Crawfish Butter Pickled Corn And Chives Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Place the corn in a large bowl with well-salted water and let soak for up to an hour.
• Meanwhile, add the anchovies to a large bowl and mash with a fork until a paste forms. Add the butter, Ranch Rub, paprika, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice and continue to mash until completely combined. Set aside.
• Remove the corn from the salted water and place over indirect heat. Cook, turning, until tender, about 5 minutes. Move the corn over direct heat to give it a little char, about 1 minute per side.
• While the corn is still hot, spread lots of ranchovy butter all over it with a pastry brush. Serve immediately.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the pre-soaked corn on a baking sheet in a 350 degree F oven until tender, about 7 minutes, then broil it for 45 seconds to give it some char.)
• Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Makes about 3/4 cup.

Steps:

• Shuck oysters if not already. Season raw oysters with salt and pepper and set aside in the fridge while grill is getting ready. Take about 1 tablespoon of crawfish butter and place atop each oyster. Grill oysters on medium heat, covered for about 5 minutes or so till butter is melted and oysters are cooked through. Carefully place oysters on a serving tray lined with rock salt or on a thick cloth napkin. You want to make sure that none of the oyster liquor or melted butter runs off. I used pickled baby corn for this recipe and just cut the kernels off and tossed with a little bit of salt & pepper, olive oil and a teaspoon of white wine vinegar. Depending on what brand or type you use you may have to cut the kernels smaller. You could also make your own if feeling adventurous. When ready to serve, top with pickled corn kernels and chopped chives. Drizzle with just a touch of olive oil. Chef: Michael O'Boyle Credits: ChickenFriedGourmet.com

Steps:

• Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
• Strip back the corn husks, as you would peel a banana, exposing the kernels. Bring the husks together beneath the ear of corn to make a sort of handle and tie with string.
• Place the butter, parsley, and garlic in a mixing bowl and whisk or beat until smooth and creamy.
• Lightly brush the corn with a little of the butter and arrange on the grate, positioning the ears in such a way that the husks are away from the fire. Grill the corn until the kernels are handsomely browned on all sides, turning as needed, basting with the remaining butter, and most important, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Serve at once and get ready for one of the most fabulous tastes in life.

Steps:

• Leave butter at room temperature for about 1 hour before starting recipe.
• Sauté crawfish over med heat with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning for 3 minutes. Add wine and garlic and simmer till evaporated. Set aside to cool about 5 minutes.
• In a food processor combine butter, crawfish and rest of ingredients. Process until all ingredients are incorporated evenly throughout butter.
• Spread butter mixture out on a plastic wrap and roll into a log. Wrap with a second coating of plastic wrap and seal the ends by twisting. Place in a sealed bag and freeze till solid.
• Slice off as needed.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for high-heat cooking. For each corn cob, tear a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it completely.
• In a bowl, combine the butter, chile, garlic (if using), salt and pepper. Mix well and taste. Adjust the seasonings; add drops of hot sauce if the butter is not spicy enough. Set aside.
• Shuck the corn. Use your hands to rub butter mixture thoroughly onto each cob, reserving about 1/4 of the mixture for basting. Wrap each buttered cob in aluminum foil.
• When ready to cook, place cobs on the grill (or, if the fire is low, in the coals) and cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until steamed and cooked through.
• Unwrap and place on the grill. Use remaining butter to baste the corn as it grills, turning it until lightly charred and cooked through. Serve immediately with lime wedges, if using.

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.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Mix butter, herbs, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Set herb butter aside.
• Brush corn with oil and grill, turning often, until it is tender and charred in spots, 5-8 minutes.
• Transfer corn to a large platter or bowl and spread with reserved herb butter, dividing evenly.
• DO AHEAD: Herb butter can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before spreading over grilled ears of corn.
