Oyster Stew Christmas Eve Recipe

1. 1

   Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until it begins to foam.

3. 3

   Stir the half-and-half and parsley through the vegetable mixture; season with salt and black pepper.

4. 4

   Continue cooking until the mixture just begins to boil; add the oysters and any liquid from the can to the stew along with Louisiana-style hot sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the oysters begin to curl, 10 to 15 minutes more.
