Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 clove garlic, crushed
-
2 shallots, minced
-
½ cup dry sherry or dry white wine
-
24 freshly shucked oysters, oyster liquor reserved
-
1 ½ cups whole milk
-
1 ½ cups heavy cream
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
-
sea salt to taste
-
1 pinch sweet paprika
-
1 cup oyster crackers
Directions
-
Stir butter and garlic in a stockpot over medium heat until butter begins to brown. Remove garlic and discard.

Stir shallots into browned butter. Cook and stir until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

Pour sherry over shallots in the stockpot and bring to a boil while scraping any browned bits off of the bottom of the pot. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes.

Recipe Tip
If using canned oysters, drain the oysters over a bowl to collect the liquid. Then use this liquid in place of oyster liquor.
