Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 24 oz. containers of clam chowder (or make your own)
  • 2 pounds baby shrimp (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup cocktail sauce
  • 2 13 oz. loaves fresh bread (sliced)
  • 2 5 oz. packages of crackers (your favorite kind served with clam chowder)
  • 8 oz. bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • Parsley for garnish

Instruction

  • On a large prepared board, place the empty pot that you will be cooking the soup in. Then arrange the bread around that pan.
  • Remove the pan and cook the soup. This allows you to have the right amount of space when ready to serve the hot soup.
  • In a large bowl, place the rinsed and drained (very well) baby shrimp. Add the cocktail sauce and lightly stir.
  • Into small cups, pour the shrimp cocktail. Add a mini fork, and garnish with fresh parsley. Place 8 cups on either side of the board.
  • In the open areas, arrange the crackers, and fill 2 small bowls with bacon and butter.
  • Add utensils, like mini forks, tongs, a knife for butter, and a spoon for the soup.
  • Place the hot soup on the hot pad (keep lid on). Remove the lid right before serving.
  • Optional to toast the bread right before serving, too.
