To Prepare Sauce: Make a roux with 3 Tbl butter. Stir in flour and mix. Set aside. In medium sauce pan, mix water, pepper sauce, chicken base and Cajun seasoning; bring to boil. Whisk in roux and cook till thickened. (Mixture will be thick). Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1/2 C. butter. To prepare sandwiches: Using a serrated knife, slice bread in half lengthwise. Hollow out bread, leaving a 1-inch border. In skillet, combine 1/3 C. sauce and oysters; cook over medium heat until plumped (2 to 3 minutes depending on size).
