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.
