Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh oysters with liquor
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 stalk celery, finely diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the oysters under cold water, reserving the liquor. Set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the finely diced celery, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the celery is tender, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the reserved oyster liquor, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir well to combine.
Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Add the oysters to the pot and gently cook until the edges of the oysters curl, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and let the stew rest for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
