Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 8 green onions thinly sliced crosswise
  • 4 medium baking potatoes
  • 4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups milk
  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 cups water
  • 16 oz frozen corn thawed and drained
  • 32 oz large shrimp peeled and deveined

Method
 

  1. In a stockpot, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp and browned, about 4-6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
  2. Add potatoes and flour to the pot and cook, stirring, about 1 minute.
  3. Add milk, seafood seasoning, thyme and water. Bring to a oil, and then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  4. Add corn, shrimp, and green onions. Cook until the shrimp are just opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve immediately and top with bacon.
