Houston Chef Danon Nix, of Danton's Gulf Coast Seafood Kitchen, boils up a true taste of Texas. Earthy ancho chiles and spicy andouille sausage create a soulful blend of Southern and Gulf Coast flavors.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds andouille sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 ancho or other dried chile peppers, seeded
  • 3 cups coarsely chopped onions
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped bell pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 2 1/2 quarts chicken broth or stock (10 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons OLD BAY® Seasoning
  • 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
  • 4 ears fresh corn, shucked and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 3 pounds unpeeled jumbo Gulf shrimp (21 to 25 count)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation

  1. Heat oil in 12-quart stockpot on medium heat. Add sausage; cook 5 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Add dried chiles; cook and stir 2 minutes. Remove sausage and chiles. Set aside. Add onions, celery and bell pepper to pot; cook and stir 8 minutes or until onions are slightly softened. Add garlic; cook and stir 2 minutes.
  2. Pour chicken stock into pot. Add OLD BAY Seasoning; mix well. Bring to boil and boil 10 minutes. Return sausage and chiles to pot. Add potatoes, corn and tomatoes. Return to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 20 minutes.
