Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled, shells reserved, and deveined 6 sprigs thyme 1 cup dry white wine 16 ounces clam juice 2 cups water 1/2 stick unsalted butter 2 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced crosswise (about 2 1/2 cups) and washed well 1 large fennel bulb, thinly sliced (about 3 1/3 cups), fronds reserved for garnish 1 teaspoon whole fennel seeds, finely ground Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 lemon

Directions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add shrimp shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 10 minutes. Add thyme sprigs and cook 1 minute. Add wine, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add clam juice and water and simmer 15 minutes. Pour broth through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids; discard solids.

Melt butter in pot over medium-high heat and add leeks, fennel, and fennel seeds. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until vegetables just start to brown, about 10 minutes. Add shrimp broth and cream; cook until warmed through.

Stir in shrimp and cook until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Divide stew among 6 shallow bowls and garnish with fennel fronds.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/09/2014   Delicious, clean flavors. I tossed fresh corn into the mix and used a chunk of french bread to sop up the tasty broth.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       02/14/2014   I decided to cook something special for my wife at home for Valentine's day. I decided on something with seafood and this just looked great on the website, difficulty cooking this was about medium, but I was a line cook at some very nice establishments for over 10 years so it was not very difficult for me, but I must say we absolutely loved every bite. I did however thicken it up a bit only because to me, a stew is not suppose to be very thin even thou it has heavy cream. But that's just me.
