Directions
Preparation time: 1 hr
Serves: 4
- Bring stock to a simmer in a large pot. Blanch all seafood, except mussels, until opaque. Remove and set aside.
- Keep remaining liquid hot, but do not let it reduce.
- In a sauce pan, saute corn, carrots, celery and onion in butter until tender.
- Sift in flour and whisk to make a roux. Whisk continuously so it doesn’t burn, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Gradually add in all remaining hot stock, whisking to keep lumps from forming.
- Cook until desired thickness is achieved.
- Whisk in whipping cream to preferred consistency. Add cooked seafood, then salt and pepper to taste.
- Add mussels to pot and cook until open.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and cooked mussels.

1 cup of flour seems like an awful lot is this correct? Also 5 lbs of seafood for 4 people?
