Shrimp and Fish Chowder - 22g Carbs, 2g Fiber
From: chicagotribune.com
Tips - -
Substitute the shrimp and fish with a 1-pound package of cleaned mixed
seafood (I found shrimp, fish, scallops and squid in a neat package at
Trader Joe's in the freezer case.)
Use more of the Thai chili paste if you like spicy food.
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6
2 baking potatoes, pierced in several pieces with a fork
1 each, trimmed, coarsely chopped: onion, celery rib, green pepper
4 slices bacon
2 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
1 Tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
1/2 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 bottles (4 oz each) clam juice
1/2 cup whole milk
1 (12 oz can) unsweetened low-fat evaporated milk
2 white fish fillets, cut into chunks
1/2 lb peeled, deveined raw frozen shrimp, defrosted, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp to 1 Tbsp Asian hot chili sauce, such as sambal oelek, optional
Cook the potatoes in a microwave on high (100 percent) until just
fork tender, about 10 minutes. Peel; cut into chunks. Set aside.
Meanwhile, process the onion, celery and green pepper in a food processor
until coarsely chopped; set aside. Cook the bacon, turning occasionally,
in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Drain on paper
towels.
Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the skillet. Add the reserved
onion, celery and green pepper; cook over medium-high heat. Cook until
onions begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic; cook, stirring,
1 minute. Stir in the reserved potatoes, bay leaves, fish sauce, seafood
seasoning, salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until well mixed,
about 1 minute.
3. Add the clam juice and both kinds of milk; heat just to a boil. Add
the fish chunks and shrimp; lower heat to a simmer. Stir in the
half-and-half. Cover; cook until fish is cooked through, about
8 minutes. Meanwhile, crumble the bacon; stir in the bacon, fresh
parsley and chili sauce, if using.
