Here is how you make Shrimp, Corn and Tomato Stew:

The first step is to peel and devein the shrimp. Separate the heads/shells from the shrimp as the first will be used in the stock and the second in the stew. Shrimp stock: Heat the oil in a large stockpot over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke slightly, add the shells, paprika and black pepper. Stir frequently for 2 mins until the shells crsip up and turn pink. Add the onion, carrot, garlic, rosemary and bay leaves. Cook, stirring for 5 mins. Add the white wine and bring to a boil. Reduce liquid by half (about 5 mins), then add water. Return the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmmer, skimming off any foam or oil that rises to the surgance for 45 mins to an hour. Strain the stock, discard all solids and ladle into 1 qt containers. The stock can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen up to 2 mos. Stew: Melt the butter in a large, heavy bottomed pan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking almost constantly, just until the rouz is a light peanut butter color and the aroma starts to fill the room - 5-10 mins. Add the onions, bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring, for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the rotel, corn, shrimp stock, salt, bay leaves, basil, thyme, pepper and paprika and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the peeled shrimp, parsley and scallions. Bring the stew back to a boil over high heat then turn the heat to low and simmer for 20 mins. Remove from heat, allow the stew to stand for 15 mins to meld flavors and adjust seasonings as desired.
