Peruvian Shrimp-And-Corn Chowder image

Recipe Compliments of: Peter Vazquez, chef and co-owner, Mariso --- Received from the Crescent City Farmer's Market, New Orleans. I had a sample of this at the Market one day and decided to make a pot of it a couple of weeks ago (much to a few friends delight). They devoured the whole pot in one sitting.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons cooking oil
1 lb shrimp (medium, uncooked)
3 teaspoons salt
1 onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 dash Tabasco sauce
1 1/2 lbs butternut squash (peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 1/4 lbs green cabbage, chopped (about 1 quart, 1/2 a small head)
1 lb baking potato, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks (about 2)
2 cups whole kernel corn
2 quarts water
1 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)

Steps:

  • Directions.
  • In a large pot, heat the oil over moderate heat.
  • Add the shrimp and 1 teaspoon of the salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and firm, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, peel them and set aside.
  • Add the onion, cayenne, paprika, cumin, and another teaspoon of the salt to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the Tabasco, squash, cabbage, potatoes, corn, and water to the pot.
  • Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the cream and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the peeled shrimp and the remaining teaspoon of salt.
  • Cook until the shrimp are just heated through, about 2 minutes.
