Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 stalks Celery, diced
- 2 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Chicken or seafood stock
- 1.5 cups Frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat evenly. Cook the mixture for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken or seafood stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the frozen corn kernels and let the chowder simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and season with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked through.
Remove the pot from the heat and taste the chowder. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
