Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 whole red onion
- 2 tbsp of unsalted butter
- 4 red potato
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 3 corn on the cob
- 1 cup of Chicken broth
- 1 pound of shrimp
- 1 pound of Andouille sausage, or any sausage you like
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 whole lemon (juice)
- 3 bay leaves
- 4 tbsp of butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Saute red onion before you will add the rest of the ingredients.
- Add chicken stock and simmer on medium heat corn and potato for about 10 minutes to give a little pre-cooking.
- Add the seafood. Fresh or frozen, both are OK to use. You can also use frozen sausage or kielbasa. When you are using frozen ingredients, make sure your meat is fully cooked before serving.
- Put the lid on your pot and bake in the oven for 20 - 30 min or till your shrimp is pink and done cooking. This is the reason I like to use the dutch oven style of pot. The meal gets steamed and not dried out. The heavy lid keeps all the heat inside of the pot.
- Add butter and let melt into a sauce after you take out your pot from the oven. Do not forget to discard all bay leaves from the soup.
- We like to dip bread into a broth or even make a bowl of rice to have with the soup. Garnish with herbs of your choice. I use chives or flat-leaf parsley.
- Dobrou Chut!!!
Notes
Cooking tips
- The bigger the shrimp the better.
- You can use red or yellow potatoes or a mix! Fingerling potatoes with skin on or peeled.
- No Kielbasa? no problem. Any sausage with good flavor will work.
- Definitely use fresh corn, it’s worth it!
