Corn And Shrimp Chowder With Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon slices to paper towels. Drain excess grease from the skillet.
• Crumble 4 slices bacon into the skillet. Add onion, celery, garlic, and thyme; cook and stir over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer bacon mixture to a large pot. Add corn and chicken broth. Bring soup to a boil; cook until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
• Pour 2 cups of soup into a blender. Cover and hold lid down; puree until smooth.
• Return pureed soup to the pot. Stir in half-and-half, pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil. Stir in shrimp; cook until shrimp are opaque, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Ladle soup into bowls. Crumble remaining 2 slices bacon on top.

Steps:

• Cut off tip of each cob. Stand corn in a wide shallow bowl; using a sharp knife, slice downward to release kernels. Scrape length of each cob with a spoon to release pulp. Discard cobs.
• In a large saucepan, cook bacon over medium-high until crisp and browned, 4 to 6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels.
• Add scallion whites and potatoes to pan; cook, stirring, until scallions have softened, 1 to 3 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add milk, seafood seasoning, thyme, and 2 cups water.
• Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add corn, shrimp, and scallion greens. Cook until shrimp are just opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Season chowder with salt and pepper. Serve topped with bacon, with crackers alongside if desired.

Steps:

• In a stockpot, cook 3 slices of the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, drain and crumble; set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings.
• Add the onion and saute in bacon drippings until tender, about 8 minutes.
• Placed chopped pototoes over onions and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Add 1 tsp of Mrs Dash.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender.
