Quick and delicious oyster stew made with fresh oysters for maximum flavor satisfaction.
Ingredients:
  • 1 clove garlic, sliced
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0.5 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1 pint fresh shucked oysters
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 0.25 cup sherry wine, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper, cooking until fragrant for about 5 minutes. Add milk and half-and-half, then transfer the mixture to the top of a double boiler. If needed, you can also set the pan over a pan of simmering water as an alternative to a double boiler.
  • Once the soup reaches a simmer, gently add in the oysters and cook just until they turn opaque. Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, a dash of cayenne pepper, and a splash of sherry to your liking.
