This is the oyster stew I grew up with, except my Mom never measured anything, and I always heated it too much, too fast. This came out perfect, and will be my "go too" recipe from now on.

Here is the quintessential recipe exemplifying the axioms "less is more" and "the simpler the better." Perfection.

Used to make a big pot of this with a friend's recipe but I like this smaller version. Thanks for posting!

This is a great recipe. My mom always added finely diced onion to cook up with the rest. My mother also said that heating slowly is the best. As soon as the butter is melted it is hot enough.The butter or margarine is always put in whole and straight from the refrigerator. You may pick up your fresh oysters at the store during the holidays and freeze to have on hand when ever you desire. I always check the date and return to the store and purchase on sell by date at a big discount.
