Instructions

  1. 1 Cook and stir bacon in a skillet over medium heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the skillet.
  2. 2 Cook and stir leeks and celery in bacon grease over medium heat until leeks soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Stir garlic into leek mixture until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker.
  4. 4 Place drained bacon, potatoes, chicken broth, 2 cups water, dried thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in the slow cooker.
  5. 5 Tie sprigs of fresh thyme together with kitchen string and add to the slow cooker.
  6. 6 Cook on High for 4 hours; add corn and cook for 1 more hour.
  7. 7 Reduce heat to Low; stir in milk and cook uncovered until slightly thickened, 30 to 40 minutes.
  8. 8 Meanwhile, bring a pot of water a boil. Cook tiger shrimp in boiling water until they are bright pink and no longer translucent in the center, about 3 minutes. Drain. Allow shrimp to cool slightly before peeling.
  9. 9 Mix cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl until combined.
  10. 10 Stir cornstarch mixture into slow cooker and heat until the soup thickens, about 3 minutes.
  11. 11 Stir peeled shrimp and parsley into soup. Remove fresh thyme sprigs and season soup with salt and black pepper before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 Whisk olive oil, lime juice, tequila, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, seasoned salt, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in a pan of water for 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  3. 3 Remove shrimp from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Thread shrimp on the skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head.
  4. 4 Arrange the skewers on the preheated grill; cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and no longer transparent in the center, 6 to 8 minutes.
