--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      qt            Heavy cream
   5                    Dozen oysters --
                        - freshly shucked,
                        - all liquor reserved
   1      ts            Creole Seafood Seasoning

In a saucepan gently simmer cream and reserved oyster liquor until
reduced to 1-1/2 cups. This takes 2 to 3 hours.

Add 24 oysters and cook for 5 minutes. Strain out oysters, leaving
the sauce.

Put remaining oysters in a hot skillet with seasoning (no oil!) and
toss gently to warm them. Do not overcook. Drain on towel, put on
serving dish and cover with sauce. Garnish with green onion or
caviar.
