Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 stalks celery stalks (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken or seafood stock
- 1 large russet potato (peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add diced onion and celery, cooking for 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken or seafood stock, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.
Add the diced potato and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the potato begins to soften.
Stir in the corn kernels, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the chowder to gently warm through, but do not let it boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair with crusty bread if desired.
