Ingredients

  • 2 cup water

  • 2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning or other seafood seasoning

  • 12 ounce fresh or frozen medium shrimp in shells, thawed

  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced (1 cup)

  • 1 12 ounce can evaporated milk

  • 1 cup milk

  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoon anchovy paste or 1 or 2 anchovies, finely chopped

  • Seafood seasoning (optional)

Directions

  1. In a 4-quart Dutch oven combine the water, Old Bay Seasoning, shrimp, and celery. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat for 5 to 8 minutes or until shrimp shells turn pink and shrimp are opaque. Remove shrimp with slotted spoon or tongs; set aside to cool.

  2. In a medium bowl whisk together evaporated milk, milk, flour, and anchovy paste; stir into liquid in Dutch oven. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Meanwhile, peel shrimp. Chop about half the shrimp. Add chopped shrimp to soup. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Ladle into bowls. Top with remaining shrimp. Pass additional seafood seasoning.
