Corn Crab And Crawfish Chowder Recipes

CRAWFISH & CRAB CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Saute onion, garlic, and celery in butter until soft, adding chicken stock as necessary to prevent over-browning.

Simmer 15 minutes. Add crab meat and crawfish and simmer another 5 minutes. Makes about 8 two-cup servings.

CORN CRAB & CRAWFISH BISQUE OR CHOWDER

Steps:

• 1. Fry bacon, drain & crumble & set aside. Saute onions, 3/4 of the green onions, bell pepper and celery in the bacon grease (or butter). When onions are clear stir in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
• 2. Over medium heat add flour and make a light roux, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes, or until the roux just starts to slightly darken. Add chicken stock, milk and heavy cream then simmer until desired consistency.
• 3. Add corn, crawfish, crabmeat, sherry, and worchestershire sauce. Stir well and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper to taste.
• 4. Serve in individual bowls and garnish with bacon crumbles and reserved green onions. Enjoy!
• 5. *NOTES: Remember - if you can't get Crawfish, use Shrimp instead. Fresh cut corn makes this recipe even better. Use about 2 cups of fresh corn, with the milk from the cob. Hold the shucked corn over a bundt pan and just cut the corn from the cob. Go back over the cob with the dull side of the knife blade to get the extra milk. All of it will fall into the bundt pan for easy clean-up and transfer to your pot. *CHOWDER: Cook 2 lbs. peeled and diced russet potatoes and 1 Tbsp. salt in saucepan, in milk just enough to cover potatoes, then set aside. Coarsley smash potatoes leaving small chunks and add to pot along with the chicken broth, milk and cream. Follow remaining directions through the end of the recipe.
