Corn and Shrimp (or Crawfish) Chowder

Recipe submitted by Eleanor Batson.

Corn and Shrimp (or Crawfish) Chowder – super easy, super quick and super
delish!

Ingredients:

  • 1 onion (or shallots) finely chopped
  • 1 stick butter
  • 3 cans creamed corn
  • 3 cans cream of potato soup
  • 1/2 pint half and half
  • 2 lbs peeled, precooked shrimp thawed
  • 1-2 capfuls crab boil – dependent upon how hot you like it!

Directions:

Sauté onion in butter until translucent. Add all other ingredients (except
shrimp) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 40 minutes – add the
shrimp the last 3 minutes to warm through.

The original recipe called for crawfish tails – either way it is wonderful!
