Shrimp Chowder image

I got the inspiration for this creation while watching one of my least favorite chefs, Email Lagross (who, by the way, is one of only a handful of chefs in the world who has such rare spices as "papa reeka" and "cardamin" in his pantry) on TV. As I watched him standing back and throwing spices, from about 6 feet away, into (or "inside of", in Lagross-speak) the pot, I said to myself, "Self! This is a freakin' cooking show, not basketball tryouts!" Fortunately, since I am not schizo, "self" did not answer "me". Are you with me so far?

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 lb unsliced thick slab bacon or 1/2 lb pancetta, diced
1 cup chopped scallion
1 cup roughly chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 large carrot, diced
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground thyme, more to taste
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning, more to taste
8 drops TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce, more to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 lb potato, peeled and diced
4 cups shrimp bouillon or 4 cups homemade shrimp stock
2 cups heavy cream
12 -16 ounces large raw shrimp, peeled and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a heavy stockpot, over medium-high heat, cook the bacon or pancetta until most of the fat is rendered, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the scallions, onion, celery and carrots.
  • Sauté for about 2 minutes until the veggies start to wilt.
  • If desired, season lightly with salt and pepper (be careful since the bouillon/stock and Old Bay seasoning are salty – you can adjust later).
  • Add the bay leaves, thyme, Tabasco and Old Bay.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and stir in the bouillon or stock.
  • Bring to a gentle boil and then reduce heat to simmer.
  • Simmer until the potatoes are just fork tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the heavy cream and bring just to a simmer – no hotter or the soup may stick to the bottom.
  • Add the shrimp and simmer for 2 to 4 minutes until the shrimp are just turning opaque.
  • Stir in the parsley, taste the soup and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  • Eat it.

This chowder was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This chowder was too thick for my taste. I added some extra milk, and it was much better. I also think it would have been better with some more vegetables, like carrots or celery.

This chowder was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I also think it would have been better with some fresh herbs, like thyme or rosemary.

This chowder was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen shrimp, and they worked just fine. I also added a bit of chopped celery, which gave the chowder a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
