Start by showing the jar of oysters, explaining they are bought from the meat department and straining them while reserving the juice for later.

Bring 1.5 cups of buttermilk to room temperature.

In a bowl, combine 0.5 cups of cornmeal, 0.5 cups of flour, and a little bit of baking powder.

Add paprika and Valentina seasoning to the buttermilk and mix well.

Add the oysters to a larger bowl and pour the seasoned buttermilk over them, mixing gently to coat.

Heat a 12-inch induction pan to 350°F with butter and a smidgen of olive oil.

Let the oysters sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Dip each oyster in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess flour before placing them in the hot oil.

Fry the oysters in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Cover the pan briefly with a lid to help cook the oysters through, then remove the lid to finish frying until crispy and golden.

Once done, serve the oysters with Tapatio on the side for dipping.
