   about 2 minutes. Add the corn, butter, cream and oysters with their
   liquor. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes longer and add the cooked orzo.

     Toast corn in a dry skillet to toast and brown, remove from pan.
     Use barley, or rice rather that Orzo.
     Use Onions as a substitute for the leeks. Use Vidalias if possible.
     Replace oysters with shrimp, scallops, shark, octopus rings, or any
   firm fish.....
