In a skillet, melt the
butter and add the olive oil. Add the onion, celery and garlic to sauté. Stir-in the flour. Stir-in the mushroom soup, broth,
liquor, crab, and a dash of each seasoning. Simmer for a
about 30 minutes. Add a little more liquid if needed, but the
sauce has to be thick. Cut heat off and let settle and cool
for a bit.
Lay-out your shells on
a cooking pan. Place one fat ole oyster in each pastry shell.
Dash-on the hot sauce. Spoon the sauce on-top to fill the shell.
Top-off each patty with a little cheese and pimento.

You may have a little leftover
sauce. Perfect with some Ritz crackers or toasted slices of French
bread.
