ravenfyre

3 ears fresh corn (shucked and kernels cut off)

2 baking potatoes (large, diced)

1 stick unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)

1 Vidalia onion (large, diced)

1 bell pepper (large, diced, or use mix of yellow, red, orange, green)

1 Tbsp. Creole seasoning (Tony Chachere’s)

6 cups chicken stock

½ lb. shrimp (fresh, peeled and de-veined)

½ lb. bay scallops

½ lb. lobster meat (cooked)

6 oz. lump crab meat (cooked)

1 qt. heavy cream

1 Tbsp. dried lemon peel (or fresh lemon zest)

½ Tbsp. red pepper flakes

1 Tbsp. garlic salt

½ Tbsp. cracked black pepper (fresh)

Cut the kernels off the cob with a sharp paring knife or corncob cutter and set aside.

Peel and dice your potatoes into medium size chunks. Prep the other veggies by dicing the onions and peppers, and cut a stick of cold butter into small pieces.

In the large stockpot, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the peppers and onions, and cook until they begin to soften for about 2 minutes. Add the Creole seasoning, and cook for another minute.

Add the potatoes and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and simmer for about 8 minutes or so until the potatoes are tender, remove from the heat.

Measure out and rinse your seafood (crab meat, lobster meat, scallops, shrimp).

Stir in the cooked lobster, crab meat, raw shrimp, raw scallops into the chowder and cover. Let stand for a few minutes until the shrimp turn pink, about 3 or 4 minutes.
