Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped celery and onion, and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Add Broth

    Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add Oysters and Cream

    Once simmering, add the shucked oysters and heavy cream. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the oysters are heated through.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season the stew with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve hot.
