Main ingredients

  • 1 pint oysters shucked, freshness is key for that ocean punch
  • 4 cups fish stock your stew’s base gotta be flavorful, so no weak broths
  • ½ cup heavy cream adds that creamy glow and richness you crave
  • ½ cup chopped onion for sweet base flavor
  • ¼ cup butter melts into the broth for silky goodness
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce brings a little tangy depth
  • Salt and pepper to taste, don’t skimp or it’ll be bland
  • Chopped parsley for garnish, brightens the bowl and your mood

Instructions

  • Melt butter in your pressure cooker on medium heat. You’ll notice it starts to foam a bit. That's your cue to toss in your chopped onion.
  • Sauté those onions until they get translucent, soft, and smell real sweet. It usually takes around 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye, you don’t want ’em browning.
  • Pour in fish stock next and bring it just to a simmer. This is where broth depth starts forming, so you’re building a solid base for that stew flavor.
  • Add oysters and Worcestershire sauce to the pot, then seal your lid. Make sure your sealing ring is in place to get that pressure build going.
  • Cook under high pressure for about 5 minutes. When done, quick release the pressure so the oysters don’t overcook and get rubbery.
  • Stir in heavy cream, then season everything with salt and pepper. Give it a taste and adjust as you like. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving it hot. This step rounds out your stew with creamy smoothness and fresh green vibes.

Notes

Serve your oyster stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
