I've started using TD as my online recipe storage... so this is more for me than for others... but...
Ingredients
1 pound of raw shrimp with shells
1 pound of crawfish tails
12 oz pack of fatty cheap bacon
2 carrot
1/2 head of celery
1 ear of corn
1 onions
3 cloves of garlic
1 red bell peppers
4 pounds of potatoes
1 30 oz can of corn
4 cups of chicken stock
1 quart of heavy cream
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup of flour
Slap ya momma
Salt
Pepper corns
Stock making
1. Peeled raw shrimp... put shells to the side.
2. Cut up 2 carrots in to 1/2 inch chunks
3. Cut up celery (using toppings) into half inch chunks to get about a cup and a halfs worth.
4. Cut up half a onion with skin into 1/2 inch chuncks.
5. cut corn off the cob, and chopped cob into 1 inch chunks
6. chopped up three gloves of garlic
7. Opened can of corn and drained off liquid into a container.
6. Sauteed shrimp shells, garlic, onion, celery, and carrots for a few minutes in 2 tbsp of butter.
7. Added can corn liquid, 4 cups of chicken stock, 1 quart of water, 1 table spoon of pepper corns, 1 bay leaf, and 2 table spoons of slap ya mama.
8. Brought to a boil... then let simmer covered for 1 hour. Strained off stock.
Roux
1. Sliced bacon into 1 inch chunks and cooked o a crisp in a skillet, saving fat while cooking. Chopped up cooked bacon and set aside.
2. Combined 1/2 the bacon fat and added a equal amount of flour to make a roux... Made a very light roux, about like peanut butter color. Made about a cup and a half of roux.
Chowder
1. Cut potatoes into 1/2 inch chunks, cut 4 stalks of celery, leftover 1/2 onion, and bell pepper into small 1/8 inch chunks.
2. Brought potatoes to a boil in stock, added three table spoons of salt, simmered and cooked until mildly tender. While doing so...
3. Sauteed chopped celery, chopped onion, and 2 chopped bell peppers in a bit of butter.
4. Combined them all, then added the roux, whisked it in, brought to a boil then reduced heat immediately.... stirring while it thickened.
5. Added one quart of heavy cream and drained corn, brought back to a mild boil, then reduced to a simmer... added seasonings consisting of salt, pepper, and slap ya mamma (didn't actually add anything this time, was delicious as is.
6. Once flavoring and consistency seemed right.. Added raw shrimp cut into thirds, precooked crawfish tails, and bacon chunks... Stirred them in and turned off heat... Let residual heat cook shrimp for about 5-8 minutes...
7. Ate that yummy stuff.
