Crock Pot Recipe For Spicy Shrimp Chowder
from:Cooking is truly an experiment; what foods work with what spices, how much, the variables go on and on. For many, cooking without a recipe or even altering a recipe is a scary thing. They follow recipes exactly, worried that the cooking police might come find them if they don’t.
And so, I offer you my Spicy Shrimp Chowder recipe. You will notice the ingredients are in two categories – what you can alter and what you can’t. (Please notice which list is longer and that even the necessary ingredients have options.) What I have offered you is a choice, a sort of “experiment with a guide”. I have it listed the way I make it (although I often think my husband sneaks in more red pepper when I’m not looking) but please feel free to add or subtract, increase or decrease amounts, or whatever else you want to please your palate. For some altering hints, I’ve added a list below the recipe instructions. Enjoy!
Necessary ingredients
2- 14.5 ounce cans of diced tomatoes, undrained
2 cups eight vegetable or tomato juice
1 cup white wine or water
½ cup rice
Other ingredients
2 cups celery, chopped
1 green or red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp ground red pepper
1 pound pre-cooked, tail off shrimp
Spray 5-6 quart crock pot with cooking spray. Mix all ingredients except shrimp and rice in slow cooker, cover and cook on low 7-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. Stir in fish and rice. Cover and cook on high an additional 45 minutes.
Hints for alteration
- For soupier chowder, add an additional 1 cup juice and/or ½ cup wine.
- Make with any firm fish such as tuna steak, halibut, or haddock cut into 1 inch cubes.
- Increase or decrease celery, bell peppers, and onion according to your tastes.
- For a spicier chowder, increase garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and/or ground red pepper. You could also add some hot sauce if desired.
