Chowder Recipe Notes
Olive Oil: Helps the shrimp sauté so they don’t burn. Feel free to use your favorite neutral cooking oil. Shrimp: I’m using pretty large shrimp in this recipe, but you can use any size you have on hand. Just keep in mind that smaller shrimp will cook more quickly. Butter: Adds even more flavor when sautéing the vegetables, but you could use additional olive oil if you prefer. Veggies: We’re adding a classic mirepoix to this soup: carrots, celery, and onion. Not only because they add delicious flavor, but because they add substance as well. Flour: Helps thicken the soup to make a rich and creamy broth. Spices: Garlic and rosemary pair deliciously with shrimp, but you could use thyme if you prefer. Chicken Broth: The base of our soup. You could use seafood or vegetable stock if you prefer, but I like the mild flavor of chicken stock. Corn: I’m using fresh corn cut off the cob, but frozen or canned would work too. If you’re using frozen, you can add it directly from the freezer. For canned corn, make sure to drain and rinse it well before adding it to the chowder. Bay Leaf: Adds a subtle earthiness that pairs deliciously with the shrimp and vegetables. Heavy Cream: Adds creaminess to the broth. Feel free to add as much or as little as you like.

Swap in thyme for the rosemary. Use seafood or vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth. Add chopped mushrooms or broccoli in with the vegetables. Swap the shrimp for scallops, crab meat, or lobster. Add sliced smoked sausage, chopped ham, or chopped bacon. Add crushed red pepper flakes or serve with hot sauce to make it spicy.
