I am back with one of my Sons’ most favorite dishes, Seafood Corn Chowder 🦀🥣🦐
Crabmeat, baby scallops, shrimp, sweet corn, red potatoes, cooked in my homemade shrimp stock, topped with crispy Turkey bacon, and served with saltine and oyster crackers. Talk about heartiness and coziness! 🤩👌🏻

🦀 1 lb Large Shrimp
🦀 1 lb Baby Scallops
🦀 1 lb Crab Meat
🦀 1/2 lb Red Baby Potatoes 
🦀 1 Can Corn
🦀 1 Onion
🦀 3 Garlic Cloves
🦀 7 Cups Shrimp Stock
🦀 1 Cup Cream or Half & Half 
🦀 4 Tablespoons Butter
🦀 2 Tablespoons Oil
🦀 4-5 Tablespoons Flour
🦀 Crispy Turkey Bacon for topping 

Seasonings:
(Amounts can be adjusted according to taste)
🥄 1 tablespoon onion powder 
🥄 1 tablespoon garlic powder
🥄 1 teaspoon paprika 
🥄 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning 
🥄 1 teaspoon Sazón seasoning 
🥄 Salt & Pepper to taste

First, I prepare the shrimp stock:
♨️ In a medium pot, combine shrimp shells, a small chopped onion, 2 minced cloves of garlic, a bay leaf, a celery stick, a carrot, salt and pepper to taste, and one teaspoon of seafood seasoning mix. Cover with water, bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat, cover pot and simmer for 30 minutes. 
♨️ Strain the stock through a fine sieve, pressing on the shells to remove as much stock and flavor as possible.

🥓 Next, I crisp the bacon. I like to do this in the toaster oven, instead of in a skillet stovetop. This way it is less messy and doesn’t make the entire house smoke and smell like bacon, especially that I am not a big fan of bacon to begin with! 
🥓 Arrange the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined by parchment paper and bake on 420F for about 10 minutes on each side, or until it’s evenly crisped.

Now let’s make the chowder:
🦀 In a large pot, add chopped onion to the heated butter and oil; cook until translucent and fragrant. Add the potatoes and cook them for 10-15 minutes, until they start to soften. 
🦀 Add the shrimp, scallops, garlic, and all the @badiaspicesseasonings, then add the flour and give everything a good mix and cook for just 2 minutes.
🦀 Add the shrimp stock and continue to mix until it starts to boil. Cover the pot, lower heat, and bring the chowder to a soft boil.
🦀 Add the crab meat, half and half or cream, corn, and adjust the seasonings to your liking.

Serve and Enjoy!
Bon Appetit 👩🏻‍🍳💖
