Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
4 cups water
1 17-ounce can creamed corn
1 17-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Place first 3 ingredients in heavy large Dutch oven. Pour water over. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in both cans of corn, cream and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 20 minutes. Add shrimp and cook until opaque, about 8 minutes. Garnish soup with chives.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will give your chowder a more delicate and flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully and remove it from the heat as soon as it's cooked through. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality seafood stock. A good seafood stock will add a lot of flavor to your chowder. You can use a store-bought seafood stock, or you can make your own.
  • Add your vegetables last. Vegetables should be added to the chowder towards the end of the cooking process, so they don't get overcooked. This will help them retain their color and flavor.
  • Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or white wine for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Shrimp chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend lunch. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With its creamy broth, tender shrimp, and flavorful vegetables, shrimp chowder is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
