To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh oysters

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped

- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

To start, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and stir constantly until the mixture turns a golden brown color. This is called a roux and it will thicken the sauce. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender.
Next, add the chicken broth, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, paprika, thyme, and oregano to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the oysters to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the oysters are cooked through.
Serve the Creole-style Oyster Etouffee Delight over cooked rice and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, if desired.
This dish is a perfect combination of spicy and savory flavors. The oysters are tender and juicy, while the sauce is rich and flavorful. The dish has a beautiful appearance with the colorful vegetables and the aroma is sure to make your mouth water.
