SHRIMP CHOWDER
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?

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.

[email protected]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.
