Shrimp chowder with fennel

1 1/2 lbs small shrimp
1 small fennel bulb
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, 2 crushed and 3 finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
4 cups water
kosher salt or sea salt
4 ounces thick slab bacon, rind removed and cut into 1/3 inch dice
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, maine, pei or other potatoes, peeled, quartered and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup whole canned tomatoes, with their juice, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
fresh ground black pepper
--------------
Peel the shrimp, reserving the shells.
(It is impractical to devein small shrimp, but if you're using larger ones, do devein them.) Split the shrimp lengthwise in half down the back, cover and refrigerate until needed.
Remove the fronds (lacy top) from the fennel, coarsely chop and reserve for garnish, (cover and refrigerate)
Trim off the tops and tough outer layers of the fennel and coarsely chop, reserve for the stock.
Quarter the fennel bulb lengthwise, cut away the core and cut very thinly across into 1/4- to 1/3-inch slices.
Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the 2 crushed garlic cloves to a 10- or 12-inch high-sided skillet or saute pan and heat over medium-high heat, until the garlic begins to brown.
Add the shrimp shells and saute for 5 minutes, or until the shells turn red and are very aromatic.
Add the fennel trimmings, the wine and the water, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Season lightly with salt.
Strain the stock; you should have 3-1/2 cups.
Heat a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot over low heat to medium and cook until the bacon is a crisp golden brown.
Pour off all the fat except 1 tablespoon, leaving the bacon in the pot.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the chopped garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the onion, sliced fennel, fennel seeds and crushed red pepper (if using) and saute, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for about 10 minutes, until the onion and fennel are softened but not browned.
Add the potatoes and reserved shrimp stock.
The stock should just barely cover the potatoes; if it doesn't, add enough water to cover.
Turn up the heat and bring to a boil.
Cover the pot and cook the potatoes vigorously for about 8 minutes, until they are soft on the outside but still firm in the center.
If the broth hasn't thickened lightly, mash a few potatoes against the side of the pot and cook a minute or two longer to release their starch.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the tomatoes, and simmer for 5 minutes more.
Stir in the shrimp and cook for 1 minute, then remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cream.
Let sit for 10 minutes while the shrimp finish their slow cooking.
Taste the chowder and season with black pepper and more salt if needed.
If you are not serving the chowder within the hour, let it cool a bit, then refrigerate; cover the chowder after it has chilled completely.
Otherwise, let sit at room temperature for up to an hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, reheat the chowder over low heat; don't let it boil.
Ladle into cups or bowls, making sure the shrimp, fennel, potatoes and bacon are evenly divided.
Sprinkle with the reserved chopped fennel fronds.
note:If you use frozen shrimp, defrost slowly in the refrigerator; this will help to maintain their texture.

Pasta with Mushroom and Shrimp Sauce (Pasta Mari e Monti)

Ingredients
3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp butter
1 garlic clove, very finely chopped
5 ounces (140 gr) fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced (see note below)
2 Tbsp Italian parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound (225 gr) raw shrimps, shelled and deveined
1/2 cup (120 cc) heavy cream
1 box or 1/2 pound (225 gr) dry fettuccine noodles


Instructions
In a skillet, pour the oil, and add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the garlic. Turn heat to medium. Before the garlic begins coloring a very pale brown, add the mushrooms and half of the parsley. Stir and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper.

Stir in the shrimps and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the cream, and turn the heat off.

Cook the pasta in abundant salt water following manufacturer's instructions. Taste for readiness from time to time, until al dente (firm but not too soft or overcooked). Drain the pasta very well, pour it into the skillet over the sauce, turn heat to medium-high, and saute for about 2 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat before the sauce becomes too thick on the pasta.

Transfer to a bowl, top with the rest of the parsley, toss, and serve immediately.

Notes: For the best results, fresh porcini mushrooms should be used. Dried porcini soaked in warm water are a good substitute. If porcini are unavailable, any kind of fresh mushrooms can be used.

Flaming Shrimp

1 pound cleaned, de−veined shrimp, with
tail shells left on
1/4 pound butter
1 tablespoon parsley
1 fresh lemon, sliced very thin
Fresh coarsely−ground pepper
1/4 cup rum
3 cloves garlic, minced
-------
Melt butter in a saucepan, chafing dish or electric skillet, depending on whether to be cooked at the
table or on the stove. Add garlic to butter and sauté slightly to extract some of the garlic flavor. Add
parsley. Add rum and bring mixture up to a slow simmer. Drop well drained shrimp, preferably at
room temperature, into the mixture and cook fairly rapidly. The best way to judge when the shrimp is
cooked is when the tail shell becomes bright red and the shrimp curl into a "C" and are quite firm.
This usually takes about 4 to 5 minutes.
At this point, quickly stir in the lemon slices, and season to taste with coarsely ground pepper. Sprinkle
with 1/4 cup 180 proof rum and ignite for presentation.
