Champagne Oysters
Champagne Oysters
Directions
- In a sauté pan, cook the shallots with the butter until transparent but not brown.
- Add the flour and stir well until cooked, forming a light roux.
- Add the champagne or wine and strained oyster liquid, whisking to prevent lumps and cooking until reduced (4 to 6 minutes). \
- Gradually stir in the cream and simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens sufficiently.
- Season to taste with cayenne or Tabasco (it probably won't need salt. Use paprika if cayenne is too hot).
-
When you are ready to serve, place 6 oysters in a Martini glass and put a spoonful of the hot sauce over each cold oyster.
- Garnish with parsley.
