Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 large celery stalk, minced

  • Cajun seasoning to taste

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 ½ cups frozen corn kernels

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 2 cups milk

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning

  • 1 pound fresh lump crabmeat

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • salt and black pepper to taste

  • Additional chopped green onions

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; then gradually whisk in the flour. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, whisking constantly, until a golden roux forms; set aside.

  2. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the onion, garlic, and celery and cook 1 minute. Add the Cajun seasoning to taste. Stir in the broth, corn, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then pour in the milk, cream, and liquid crab boil. When the mixture begins to simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer 7 minutes. Stir in the roux, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending thoroughly. Continue to cook, on low heat, whisking until mixture thickens. Stir in crabmeat, green onions, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer 6 to 8 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
