Mama's Oyster Stew

Oyster Stew in an italian bowl, on a red tablecloth, with a Christmas napkin on the side.

Ingredients

  • 1 pint fresh oysters
  • 4 T butter
  • Salt, pepper, paprika
  • 1 qt. rich milk (half & half, or sweet milk mixed with heavy cream)
  • Lawry’s Seasoned Salt

Instructions

Pour oysters into a strainer over a cup or bowl, catching
the liquid (liquor as it is called). 
Gently palpate the oysters, feeling for pieces of shell, grit, or (if
you are lucky) pearls!  Put the cleaned
oysters, strained oyster liquor, butter and seasoning into a saucepan and
simmer gently until oysters begin to curl at the edges.  At the same time, heat the milk in a
saucepan, being careful not to scorch it. 
Add the hot milk to the oysters and oyster liquor and serve at once.  Top with a healthy sprinkle of Lawry’s
Seasoned Salt and a handful of oyster crackers.
