CREOLE CRAB AND CORN CHOWDER
Ideally you would make this in the middle of summer with ears of fresh, sweet-as-sugar corn. You can also make a perfectly fine version of this chowder using a premium-quality, extra-sweet, frozen corn.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat; stir in onion, jalepeno peppers, celery, and a pinch of salt. Cook until onions are soft and translucent, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Stir seafood seasoning and cayenne pepper into onion mixture; cook for 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over onion mixture; cook and stir until mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Pour 2 1/2 cups water, 1/2 pound corn kernels, and 2 ounces crabmeat into the onion mixture; increase heat to medium-high and bring to simmer.
- Place 1 cup water, 1/2 pound corn kernels, and garlic into a blender. Cover and puree until smooth.
- Pour corn puree into the Dutch oven and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until chowder is thicker and the color deepens, about 45 minutes.
- Stir 6 ounces of crabmeat, paprika, and heavy cream into chowder. Season with salt and pepper to taste; garnish with green onions and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
