Grand central oyster stew
2 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | Freshly opened oysters | |
| 1 | teaspoon | Worcestershire |
| 2 | tablespoons | Butter |
| 1 | ounce | Of clam juice |
| ¼ | cup | Oyster liquor |
| ½ | teaspoon | Paprika |
| 1 | dash | Of celery salt |
| 1 | cup | Half-and-half |
Directions
Place all of the ingredients except half-and-half and one tablespoon of the butter in the top part of a double boiler over boiling water.
Don't let the top pan touch the water. Whisk briskly and constantly for about 1 minute, until oysters are just beginning to curl. Add half-and-half and continue stirring briskly, just to a boil. DO NOT BOIL. Serve piping hot topped with the remaining 1 T. butter and sprinkled with paprika.
Note: To make more servings, do 2 at a time. Have bowls hot, and heat half-and-half before adding.
