Cajun Shrimp, Sausage and Corn Chowder image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: This recipe was an inspiration from my first experience eating a chowder. Being from the south, I had never eaten anything like this until a friend of mine brought a bowl home from work. After the first bite, I knew I had to re-create the recipe. This is my version, with of course, bacon and potatoes added to the flavor profile!

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the chowder will be. Look for fresh shrimp, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the shrimp and vegetables won't cook evenly. Cook the shrimp and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
  • Season the chowder well: Cajun cuisine is known for its bold flavors, so don't be afraid to season the chowder generously. Use a variety of spices, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Serve the chowder hot: Cajun shrimp chowder is best served hot. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
