A delightful twist on the classic oyster stew, this creamy chowder is rich, flavorful, and perfect for a cozy meal.
Prepare the oysters by draining their liquor into a bowl and setting it aside.
Ensure the oysters are fresh and clean before using them.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from browning.
Add the oyster liquor to the saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer.
Simmering the liquor enhances its flavor.
Stir in the milk, salt, and pepper, and heat gently without boiling.
Avoid boiling to maintain the creamy texture.
Add the oysters and cook until their edges curl, about 2-3 minutes.
Do not overcook the oysters to keep them tender.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with seafood seasoning.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
