Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 2 celery stalks (diced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 2 medium potatoes (diced)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
Add the diced onion, celery, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in the half-and-half, frozen corn, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.
Lower the heat and add the raw shrimp to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque.
Taste the chowder and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
