Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over medium-high heat, cook and stir the celery and garlic in the butter until the celery is soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the flour and stir, scraping the bottom of pan until flour is lightly toasted. Slowly add the milk and half-and-half to the roux, stirring constantly. Stir the onion powder, parsley, and salt into the mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low, continue cooking and stirring until the mixture bubbles and thickens, 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. Add the oysters with the liquid from the container to the mixture, cook until the edges of the oysters curl, about 5 minutes more. Season with pepper just before serving.

Recipe Note

Wonderful main meal stew using 8-ounce container of oysters. Good served with toasted and buttered thick sliced bread and simple fruit, such as canned peaches. If stew is too thick, thin with a little more milk. If your oysters are large, they may be cut after cooking into smaller pieces.
