Preparation
Step 1
In a big, deep skillet (at least 12" diameter) bring melted butter up to saute` temperature.
Put the well-drained oysters into the melted butter and season with Cajun seasoning. Saute`oysters approximately five minutes, until they are curled. Remove the oysters and let them cool.
Put onions, celery, bell pepper in the pan and saute` until the onions are transluscent, retaining a little crunch. At that point, add oyster juice, bring to slow boil and let reduce slightly. Add 1/2 cup milk and the green onions. Bring to a slow boil. Turn off the heat and let cool. While sauce is cooling, dice the oysters. Add the oysters to the sauce. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, eggs, and oyster sauce. Mix well. It should have a thick, lumpy batter consistency. Place in a greased 9x13" cake pan and bake at 375°F oven for 45 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
