Narrative:
Climbing through FL230 with engine anti-ice on; left engine stalled violently. It rolled back and had vibrations. Egt reached 651 degrees C. We ran the compressor stall qrc and subsequent checklist to shut it down. We declared an in-flight emergency and headed back to ZZZ. Engine parameters were good for a restart so we attempted one. The engine never accelerated above 44% N2 and the vibrations returned. The engine was then shut down and we set up for a single engine approach and landing on runway xx at ZZZ. Uneventful landing. We had the ground crews check the engine over while we were parked on the taxiway; then taxied to the gate.
