Cooking spray
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

24 oysters on the half shell
8 lemon wedges
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450°.

Place bread in a food processor, and pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs form to measure 3/4 cup.

Heat a medium nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add onions, parsley, and garlic; cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in fresh breadcrumbs, Italian breadcrumbs, and the next 4 ingredients (Italian breadcrumbs through black pepper). Place oysters on a jelly roll pan.

Bake the oysters at 450° for 7 minutes or until the edges of the oysters curl. Serve with lemon wedges.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: 2-4 servings
Ingredients:
8 oz container shucked small or medium oysters (or 8 freshly shucked oysters)
2 Tablespoons Italian or Caesar salad dressing (regular or creamy)
1 small spaghetti squash (about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 lbs)
3 Tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic (about 2 large cloves)
2 Tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup unflavored panko crumbs
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Oil for frying
Preparation:
Drain oysters over a bowl (save the oyster 'liquor' to add to seafood stock or fish soup.) Pat dry and place oysters in a bowl with the Italian dressing. Refrigerate.
Cook the spaghetti squash using this easy method (or your preferred method.) Drain well and separate into strands with a fork.

Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic softens and just begins to color. Add the spaghetti squash and parsley; toss to coat and remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Place the flour, egg, and panko into separate bowls. Add the basil, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne to the panko and mix well.

In a heavy pot or deep pan, heat at least 1 inch of oil to 365 degrees. Drain the oysters well, dredge in flour, then egg, then panko crumbs, coating well. Fry in 2 batches (to avoid crowding the pan), turning once, until golden brown and crisp. Drain on a rack or on paper towels.

Serves 2 as a light entree or 4 as an appetizer.
