The dish has only a limited number of ingredients, which makes for easy and quick preparation. By having all the ingredients out in front of you at the onset, this dish is literally put together in a matter of minutes. The coloring imparted from the paprika provided a nice yellow effect to the broth that, coupled with the vibrant green of the flat-leaf Italian parsley, offered eye-pleasing contrast. I used square Japanese porcelain bowls and purposely mounded the oysters up in the middle of each bowl. I then topped the oysters with the parsley. The only word of caution is to not scald the milk and be sure and turn down the heat to simmer as you watch for the oyster edges to curl. Enjoy.

The best thing about this, besides being sweet and oceanic with just a hint of spice from the paprika and nutmeg, was I put it together in 20 minutes. Really. Twenty minutes. We always have oyster stew on Christmas, it's a tradition The One and I have kept for years, and moving forward this will be our go-to recipe.
