What entree would you serve at a party if you're starting with freshly shucked oysters?
I never seem to have any issues ordering oysters + mains at a restaurant, but when my dinner guests told me they'd be bringing oysters to serve on the half shell as a starter, I became completely stumped as to the rest of my menu! What would you serve as an entree/main if oysters are your first course?

Add the stock and a cup of white wine. A bit of white pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcester sauce. A dash of Tabasco sauce.
Cook that on a slow simmer about 2 hours...adjust season. Add the shrimp at the 30 mins before serving. Simmer that until the shrimp are cooked. Taste and adjust heat/spice and seasoning.
Serve with a 'ice cream scoop' of white rice on a plate surrounded by the etouffee. topped with parsley and green onion bits.
Then a sorbet...followed by a peach cobbler with ice cream and coffee.

Or maybe pan-seared flank steak atop a dollop of pierino's Romesco: https://food52.com/recipes/6452-the-case-of-the-promiscuous-romesco
In either case I'd add some bitter greens, maybe sautéed escarole, maybe grilled radicchio.
