Yield: 6 servings

[edit] Ingredients

3

tablespoons butter

1

cup diced celery

1

cup diced yellow onion

Kernels from 4 to 6 ears of fresh corn

4

cups diced peeled russet potatoes

8

cups water

2

teaspoons salt

½

teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

½

cup diced red bell pepper

½

pound shrimp (to 1 lb) salad size or larger cut small pieces

1

cup half-and-half

[edit] Preparation

Step 1

In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter. Add the celery, onion and red peppers and saute until the onion is limp, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the corn and saute for 3 more minutes.

Step 2

Add the potatoes, water, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are very tender and beginning to disintegrate. Add shrimp and let simmer for 2 more minutes. Do not over cook, or the shrimp will be tough. Add half-and-half and bring back to a simmer. Remove from heat and correct seasonings.

Step 3

Serve with a sprinkling of minced fresh parsley and an additional pat of butter on top.

Step 4

This recipe yields 6 to 9 servings.
