Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Drain oysters, reserving the liquid. If your oysters are large you can chop them into smaller bite-sized pieces.
  • Over medium heat, in a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter
  • Add oysters and cook for 3 or 4 minutes or until they begin to firm up.
  • Add the seasonings and then white wine and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the reserved oyster liquid + enough water to equal 2 cups, heavy cream, and thyme.
  • Cover and bring to a simmer cooking for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, remove thyme sprig, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Serve topped with a sprinkle of paprika for color.
  • We also like to top with these if you are craving crackers.

Notes

*Notes - I suggest a Sauvignon blanc (what I use), Pinot Grigio, or unoaked Chardonnay)
Can substitute vegetable stock for the wine if no alcohol is preferred.
