Instructions

  1. Heat the whole milk in a heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook until the milk begins to bubble around the edges, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the oysters and their liquor. Continue stirring constantly and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the oysters firm up. Season the stew with salt and ground black pepper.
  3. Turn off the heat and stir in the butter. Sprinkle evenly with chopped scallions. Serve immediately with oyster crackers or croutons.

Notes

  • Recipe Source: Southern Living 
  • This recipe works for either fresh or canned oysters. If using canned oysters, reserve 1/2 cup of oyster liquor from the can and add to the stew while cooking. The oyster liquor contains the natural juices from the oysters and can enhance the flavor.
  • Use low to medium heat when cooking the stew to avoid scalding or curdling the milk. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  • Do not overcook the oysters, as they can become tough and rubbery. Cook just until the edges of the oysters start to curl and firm up.
