Louisiana Cookin'

Ingredients:

• 4 dozen Louisiana oysters with liquid
• 1 onion, grated
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms with juice
• Creole seasoning, to taste
• Cayenne pepper sauce, to taste
• 2 tablespoons minced green onions
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
• 12 pastry shells (individual sized)

Instructions:

In a large skillet, cook oysters in their own liquid by bringing to a boil, then simmering for 10 minutes. Saute onion in butter, then blend in flour until smooth. Add remaining ingredients to oysters. Cook 5 minutes, then pour into pastry shells, distributing oysters evenly. Bake at 370ºF for 5 to 8 minutes. For finer textured pies, chop oysters before cooking.
