Grand Central Oyster Stew

Directions

Place all of the ingredients except half-and-half and one tablespoon of the butter in the top part of a double boiler over boiling water.

Don’t let the top pan touch the water. Whisk briskly and constantly for about 1 minute, until oysters are just beginning to curl.

Add half-and-half and continue stirring briskly, just to a boil.

Do not over boil.

Serve piping hot topped with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkled with paprika.
