Crab, Shrimp, & Potato Chowder image

This is a thick, creamy, and very flavorful chowder, and would be amazing in a bread bowl. I've made a lot of modifications to the original recipe as far as the ingredients go, and I've marked those with an asterisk, and I clarify it in the directions. I suggest reading through the recipe before shopping for your ingredients, just in case. Prep and cooking times are estimated.

Time 1h

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 -3 tablespoons butter
1 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup shallot, chopped*
3/4 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced small
1 garlic clove, minced
3 1/2 cups red potatoes or 1 lb red potatoes, cubed
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream or 1 (16 ounce) carton heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped*
1/2-1 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth (*)
8 ounces cooked lump crabmeat, shells removed*
8 ounces precooked medium shrimp, shelled and deveined*
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
salt, to taste*

Steps:

  • * Instead of buying multiple small shallots, you can use one plum-sized shallot. It comes to a little more than 1/4 cup, but it still tastes great.
  • * If using dried herbs, it's suggested that you use less than the called-for amount, but I used about 3 teaspoons dried thyme and parsley in my modified version.
  • * I increased the amount of black pepper to about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 teaspoons I like pepper, and 1/2 teaspoons just didn't seem like nearly enough.
  • * If not using canned broth, 2 cups of broth works well.
  • * I used two 6 oz. cans of crab meat each time I've made this chowder.
  • * I used I lb. of extra-large shrimp, cut into small pieces.
  • * This recipe did not call for any salt, but the first time I made it I found it to be somewhat sweet. Since it's such a large amount of chowder, I added about 3/4 tsp of salt, but feel free to add more or less depending on your tastes.
  • 1) In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • 2) Add onion, shallots, celery, red pepper, and garlic. Saute for 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • 3) Add potatoes and saute for an additional 1 minute.
  • 4) Sprinkle flour over the mixture one tablespoon at a time, stirring well. Cook the mixture for one minute more.
  • 5) Add one more tablespoon of butter if the mixture if desired.
  • 6) Stir in cream, thyme, pepper, nutmeg, corn, and broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  • 7) Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • 8) Stir in crab, shrimp, and parsley and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chowder has reached the desired thickness. Continue to stir occasionally until done.

Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 23

5 slices bacon
1 tablespoon clarified butter
¾ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
½ cup chopped celery
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon brandy
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 cups fresh corn kernels
4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 ½ quarts chicken stock
½ cup butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 pound peeled and deveined small shrimp
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
1 pound fresh lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon, and reserve the grease. Allow the bacon to cool, then crumble, and set aside with the grease.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of clarified butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, green pepper, celery, and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 10 minutes. Pour in the white wine and brandy, and bring to a simmer. Season with the basil, white pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the corn and potatoes, then pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes.
  • While the soup is simmering, melt 1/2 cup of butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour has turned the color of peanut butter to make a roux, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir the roux into the soup, and pour in the heavy cream, half-and-half cream, reserved bacon and grease, and shrimp. Return to a simmer over medium-high heat, and cook until the shrimp are no longer translucent in the center, the potatoes are tender, and the soup has thickened, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with Creole seasoning, and stir in the crab meat to serve.
