Joe White is Cooking his Grandfather's Oyster Stew Recipe in the Kitchen Concepts Kitchen

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

oysters

🥗Healthier: mushrooms

💰Cheaper: canned clams

Mushrooms provide umami flavor, while canned clams are more affordable.

Start with fresh oysters; ensure they are clear and viscous, not cloudy.

Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Add oysters to the pan and cook until they have crispy edges, about 2 minutes.

Add unsalted butter to the pan with the oysters.

Turn the heat down to medium-low after the oysters have cooked.

Pour in heavy cream first, then add about half a cup of milk.

Season with seafood seasoning to taste.

Simmer the stew until it thickens slightly, but not like chowder.

Serve with oyster crackers.
