Mike’s Nothing Precise Oyster Stew

Worcestershire 1/3 large bottle
Salt and Pepper
Oyster Stew
Sautee’ 1-2 tbsp garlic, onions, 2/3 bag spinach leaves shredded, Hot sauce, Worcestershire, 3-5 stalks chopped celery, salt and pepper to taste, margarine
(this is a magical process and nothing is precise)
Add whipping cream, half and half and bring to near boil (do not boil)
Add oysters and shrimp (when oysters begin to curl remove from heat)
Crab Cakes
Combine in big bowl:
Shredded spinach leaves (1/3 bag)
Shredded crab (only if imitation is used “don’t shred real lump”)
2 eggs (use extra if needed)
Some Italian bread crumbs (amount varies but not too much)
Once mixture is complete make into 1/3 lb hamburger sized patties drop them into a pan coated with hot oil and fry until dark golden brown
Important note: place one cake in soup bowl and ladle stew over cake on proceed to buying a bigger pant size
• feel free to experiment, I did.
Make 10 – 12 servings
