Chef’s notes

This recipe comes from Episode 6 of Duck Camp Dinners featuring professional chef and hunter Jean-Paul Bourgeois. You can catch every episode of Duck Camp Dinners here.

Crawfish and corn chowder is my dad’s favorite dish to make and eat. It’s rich, decadent, and will be begging you back for a second bowl. Louisiana crawfish tails are our favorite for this recipe but the dish works equally well with shrimp and/or crab meat. It's the perfect soul-warming recipe to finish off a cold day on the water or in the blind.
