Steps:
- Drain oysters, reserving oyster liquor (about 1 cup). Heat milk and oyster liquor in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking occasionally to prevent scorching, 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture just begins to steam. Add oysters, and season with desired amount of salt and pepper. Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until the edges of the oysters just begin to curl. Remove pan from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer oysters to a plate to prevent them from overcooking.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic, and cook, stirring often, 4 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle flour over shallot mixture, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 to 2 minutes or until completely incorporated and bubbly. Gradually whisk in half-and-half and next 3 ingredients. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Gradually stir in reserved milk mixture and oysters. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, just until warmed through.

Tips:
- Use fresh oysters: Fresh oysters have a briny, sweet flavor that is essential for a great oyster stew. If you can't find fresh oysters, you can use frozen oysters, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Choose the right type of milk: Whole milk or half-and-half will give your stew a richer flavor than skim milk. You can also use a combination of milk and cream for an even richer flavor.
- Don't overcook the oysters: Oysters are delicate and will toughen if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 3 minutes.
- Season to taste: Oyster stew should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or celery salt, to taste.
- Serve immediately: Oyster stew is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat it gently over low heat before serving.
Conclusion:
Oyster stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious oyster stew that your family and friends will love.
