Thank you, iwe.
I love oyster stew. My 83 year old dad and one of my daughters do as well. I fixed two quarts of this today - one for us and one I'm taking to my dad tomorrow. It's a simple recipe that I got from a long time friend who happens to be 4th generation Manteo native. This is a recipe that will serve two, portion wise.
Ingredients:
-1 Pint Oysters, shucked (reserve the liquid/juice)
-Enough water to cover
-1 Stick of Butter
-1/2 cup - 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
-Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
In a medium saucepan add oysters, reserved oyster liquid, butter and just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat. Add heavy cream and salt and pepper. Stir repetitively while simmering for 2 minutes. Allow to sit for a few minutes to thicken. Stir well and serve with oyster crackers or saltines. Yields two servings.
