Yield: 2 servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 8 \N | 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 |
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.
