Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 pints half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (12 ounce) can oysters
  • 2 dashes Louisiana-style hot sauce

Method

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until it begins to foam.
  • Cook and stir the celery, onion, and red bell pepper in the hot butter until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir the half-and-half and parsley through the vegetable mixture; season with salt and black pepper.
  • 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.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the stew to sit 5 minutes before serving.
