My husband is a former member of the Air Force's Thunderbird team, and I developed this recipe after he invited the whole team to our house on short notice for an informal dinner. It was very easy-it was done in 45 minutes, and it turned out to be the best oyster stew I'd ever made!

I normally make a very plain oyster stew using only oysters, butter and milk/cream. I was looking for somethig a little different and more flavorful. This was the perfect recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and my oyster stew turned out wonderful! My family really enjoyed it. Will be serving it again at our Christmas gathering.
