re: anybody got an oster stew recipe handy?

Pint small oysters.

Saute 1/4 cup shallots, 1/2 cup mushrooms, Add garlic toward end (1 Tablespoon minced for me) in half stick butter while cooking two medium potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Drain potatoes when fork temder, add water from oysters, saute stuff, 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer and add oysters. Simmer for three to five minutes. Don't overcook oysters. Serve with crusty bread. Add tobasco or LA Gold Hot sauce if you like.
