Step 1

1. Beat egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a shallow dish. Dip oysters in egg whites, and dredge in flour mixture, shaking off excess.

2. Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches into a large deep skillet; heat over medium-high heat to 350°. Fry oysters, in batches, 2 to 3 minutes or until done. Drain on a wire rack over paper towels. Sprinkle hot oysters with salt.
