12 ounces shrimp bag frozen, thawed, if you're into cleaning and de-veining shrimp, then go ahead and buy it fresh
4 slices bacon
1/2 yellow onion small dice
1 stalk celery small dice
3 cloves garlic minced
red potato 1 med., small dice
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
26 ounces seafood stock
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 white wine
3 tablespoons old bay seasoning to taste
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons Italian parsley freshly chopped
freshly ground black pepper

1
Cook bacon in large soup pot. Remove from pot and drain on paper towel.
2
In bacon drippings, saute onions and celery. Season with a little pepper. Add garlic and stir around to let it cook but don't let the garlic brown.
3
Meanwhile, place diced potato in small sauce pot, cover with water and bring to boil. Cook until tender and drain. Set aside.
4
Add butter and flour to onions and celery. Whisk and cook for a few minutes. Add white wine and seafood stock and bring it to a boil whisking often. Add Old Bay Seasoning. Whisk in heavy cream and bring to just a boil.
5
Add potatoes and add the bacon (crumbled). Combine well.
6
Add thyme leaves and Italian parsley and add shrimp last (I removed the tails and cut my shrimp in half to make more bite-sized pieces).
7
Serve it hot with crusty French bread.
