Ingredients:

1 pint shucked maryland oysters in their liquor

¼ cup white wine or sherry

1 tbsp gf mccormick old bay seasoning or gf j.o. crab seasoning

1 tsp ground black pepper

2 cloves garlic, chopped finely

2 tsp gf worcestershire sauce

6-10 drops of gf tabasco sauce to taste

1 pint half-and-half

Directions:

1. Combine all of the ingredients except the half-and-half and heavy cream in a medium pot. Use white wine for a subtler flavor, or sherry if you’re feeling bold. Heat over medium flame, stirring occasionally until oysters curl.

2. Add half-and-half and heavy cream and cook, stirring, until just shy of a boil. You’ll have to keep an eye out. You want the stew to get very hot, but don’t want to reach that boil. Serve with GF oyster crackers or, if you’re feeling fancy, toast points.

Bon Appetit!
