does anyone have a recipe for homemade oyster stew?

Answer 1

OYSTER STEW FOR TWO

1 pt. oysters, drained, reserve half
of the juice
2 tbsp. margarine
1 pt. heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. celery, chopped fine
1 tbsp. onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. fresh parsley or onion tops,
chopped
Salt
Red pepper
Black pepper

In a skillet, melt the margarine and saute the celery, onion and garlic until the onions are clear and the flour is mixed well. Add the whipping cream, oyster juice and seasonings. Simmer until the mixture becomes smooth and thickens. Add the oysters and simmer for approximately 7 minutes or until the oysters plump and the edges begin to curl. Do not over cook, oysters will become tough. Serve like soup and sprinkle with parsley. A little hot sauce never hurt anything. Sheriff

Answer 2

I love oyster stew. This recipe is one of the best.

* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 cup minced celery
* 3 tablespoons minced shallots
* 1 quart half-and-half cream
* 2 (12 ounce) containers fresh shucked oysters, undrained
* salt and ground black pepper to taste
* 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the celery and shallots until shallots are tender.
2. Pour half-and-half into a large pot over medium-high heat. Mix in the butter, celery, and shallot mixture. Stir continuously. When the mixture is almost boiling, pour the oysters and their liquid into the pot. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir continuously until the oysters curl at the ends. When the oysters curl the stew is finished cooking; turn off the heat and serve.

CAPTAIN'S OYSTER STEW

Take 2 dozen large live oysters in their shells and rinse them in fresh water to remove salt from their shells. Set aside.
Boil about 6 medium potatoes in pot until cooked, but still firm. Remove potatoes to cool, but reserve the hot water.

Measure 6 cups of hot water that was used to cook potatoes into steamer and steam the 2 dozen clean oysters in their shells until one or two oysters open, about 20 minutes. Remove oysters from steamer and allow to cool, but save the water and oyster juice in the bottom of steamer.

In large stew pot, melt half of stick of butter and add one large onion chopped into small pieces. Follow this with 4 large cloves of garlic chopped fine. Saute gently until onion is soft.

Shuck the oysters, being careful to save all liquid in shells. This liquid should be added to stew pot. Also be careful to remove the adductor muscle (the muscle that holds the two shells together) from the oyster meat of each oyster. Chop oyster meat into bite-size pieces and add to stew pot (at least 1 full cups of oyster meat).

Pour all liquid from bottom of steamer through a screen (to catch any bits of shell) into the stew pot and turn heat under pot to low.

Chop cooked potatoes into bite-size pieces and add as many as is appropriate to the stew pot. Add 3 cups non-fat buttermilk to the stew pot. Add freshly ground pepper to taste, and stir. Simmer for 30 minutes or more and serve.

This is especially good on a cold day served with hot sourdough bread. It is also very good the next day!
