OYSTER STEW CHRISTMAS EVE RECIPE
Oyster Stew has always traditionally been served by my mother and her Hollingsworth family roots from Georgia every Christmas Eve. The colors of red and green are very Christmas-like. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

- Cook and stir the celery, onion, and red bell pepper in the hot butter until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Stir the half-and-half and parsley through the vegetable mixture; season with salt and black pepper.
- Continue cooking until the mixture just begins to boil; add the oysters and any liquid from the can to the stew along with Louisiana-style hot sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the oysters begin to curl, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the stew to sit 5 minutes before serving.

CHRISTMAS EVE OYSTER STEW
This recipe has been passed down the generations in our family. We usually have it every year on Christmas Eve. Since it's so rich we only serve it with ice water to drink and a simple salad. Delicious and very satisfying.

Steps:
- Add milk, butter and oysters with their juice to a double boiler or a large pot that fits inside of another pot. Fill the bottom pot as full of water as you can without it running over.
- Add a little celery salt, salt and pepper and then heat on low. Cook very slowy so the milk won't boil (I start at 1 pm. for dinner at 6 pm). Every now and then stir. After a few hours, do a taste test to adjust seasonings.
- Serve with oyster crackers.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality oysters. Look for oysters that are plump and have a briny smell. Avoid oysters that are cracked or have a slimy texture.
- Clean the oysters thoroughly. Use a stiff brush to scrub the oysters under cold running water. Remove any dirt, sand, or grit.
- Shuck the oysters carefully. Use an oyster knife to carefully open the oysters. Be careful not to spill any of the oyster liquor.
- Cook the oysters until they are just cooked through. Overcooked oysters will become tough and chewy. Cook the oysters for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges of the oysters curl and the centers are opaque.
- Serve the oyster stew hot. Oyster stew is best served hot, with a side of crackers or bread.
Conclusion:
Oyster stew is a classic Christmas Eve dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, flavorful broth and tender oysters, oyster stew is a surefire way to warm up on a cold winter night. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve on Christmas Eve, give oyster stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
