This is a hearty soup that you can serve as a first course or as an entree. You may want to try a little hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®) when serving. It kicks it up a notch.

This chowder was amazing! I made it for my family and they all loved it. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the corn was sweet and juicy. The broth was flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.

This chowder is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp and corn. I usually add a little bit of diced red bell pepper for color and flavor.
