1

Lay the bacon slices flat in a cold 5-quart Dutch oven and set it over medium heat.

2

While the bacon starts to sizzle, dice the onion and celery, then mince the garlic.

3

Flip the bacon with tongs once the undersides turn golden and release easily, about 4 minutes in.

4

While the second side crisps, scrub the potatoes and cut them into 0.5-inch cubes.

5

Once the bacon is crisp and deep bronze, about 8 minutes total, lift it onto the paper-towel-lined plate, leaving the fat behind.

6

Stir the onion, celery, and a pinch of salt into the bacon fat and cook 5 minutes until the onion turns soft and translucent.

7

While the onion softens, husk the corn, slice the kernels off the cobs, and strip the thyme leaves from their stems.

8

Stir in the garlic, thyme, and flour and cook 1 minute until the flour coats the vegetables and smells lightly toasty.

9

Pour in the broth while stirring and scraping up the browned bits, then add the potatoes, remaining salt, and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat, about 4 minutes.

10

Reduce to medium-low, cover with the lid slightly ajar, and simmer 12 minutes until a fork slides easily through the potato cubes.

11

While the potatoes simmer, finely slice the chives, cut the lemon half into two wedges, crumble the cooled bacon, and pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.

12

Press about a third of the potatoes against the side of the pot with the spoon to thicken the broth.

13

Stir in the corn kernels, milk, and cream and warm over medium 3 minutes, without a hard boil, until steaming and the corn turns bright yellow.

14

Stir in the shrimp and simmer gently 3 minutes, just until pink, opaque, and curled into a loose C, then pull the pot off the heat.

15

Squeeze in one lemon wedge, ladle into bowls, and scatter the crumbled bacon and chives over top.
