Jeri’s Oyster Stew Recipe

Jeri’s Oyster Stew Recipe

  • 1 quart shucked oysters and their liquor
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 cup cream or evaporated milk, or more to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces, plus butter pats for garnish
  • Soda crackers
  • Tabasco sauce
  1. Pour the oysters, including all of the liquid, into a large soup pot, and add about 2 cups pure spring water.
  2. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Bring nearly to a boil and decrease the heat to a simmer. Cook until the oyster gills curl, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the cream and cook over medium heat until hot, but do not allow to boil. Stir in the butter.
  4. Serve in a soup bowl with an extra pat of butter on top. Have lots of soda crackers and Tabasco sauce on the table.
