For a richer flavor, consider using half-and-half or heavy cream in place of some of the evaporated milk. Fresh oysters can be used instead of canned, if preferred. Just be sure to shuck them carefully and check for any shell fragments. Do not allow the stew to boil vigorously, as this can cause the milk to curdle. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a pleasant kick.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot, gently whisk together the evaporated milk and cold water over medium-low heat. Bring the mixture to a bare simmer, being careful not to scorch. (5 minutes)
02
StepGradually whisk in the cubed butter, one piece at a time, allowing each to melt completely before adding the next. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the butter is fully incorporated and the stew is smooth and creamy. (5-7 minutes)
03
StepGently stir in the drained and rinsed oysters. Continue to simmer over low heat until the edges of the oysters begin to curl slightly, and they are heated through. Avoid overcooking, as this can make them tough. (Approximately 10-12 minutes).
04
StepLadle into warmed bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a dash of hot sauce, if desired.
