Ingredients
  

For the Chowder
  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups potatoes diced, preferably Yukon Gold
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup corn fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp butter for sautéing
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
  2. Step 2: Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the corn, shrimp, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and pink.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. For freezing, leave out the shrimp, as they can become tough when thawed.
