Aunt Effie's Oyster Stew image

I know this recipe was given to my Aunt by her mother-in-law when she was a young woman in the early 1900's. It is a quick-fix meal that uses canned oysters. This makes a good hearty light meal to end your day. Serve with a nice bread or in bread bowls with chunks of different cheese. My Aunt used smoked shucked oysters plain shucked oysters. She also cooked this until the edges curled and the center firmed.

I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper to my stew. It gives it a nice kick.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover oysters. I always have a few leftover after making oyster Rockefeller, and this stew is the perfect way to use them up.
