directions for making roasted corn and shrimp chowder

Add chicken stock, roasted corn, chopped onion, chopped potato, bay leaf, salt, pepper, Old Bay, celery seed and nutmeg to a crock pot or slow cooker and cook on low for about 5 hours.

Then remove about half of the soup and blend with an immersion blender or upright blender and return to crock pot/slow cooker.

Add shrimp and cook another 15 minutes or until shrimp are pink.

Add heavy cream and cook another 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Serve up in individual bowls and garnish with a bit of the roasted corn, a shrimp or even crispy bacon.

roasted corn

First, you need to oil the grates of your grill.
Husk and remove all silks from corn.
Place corn on grill with medium heat and cook for approximately 15 minutes, turning corn about every 3-4 minutes.
Remove corn from grill and let cool.
Then cut the corn kernels off the cob.

shrimp marinade

Peel and devein shrimp and place in large ziplock bag.
Add 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped garlic and just enough olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) to incorporate seasonings with the shrimp.
Place shrimp in refrigerator until ready to use in your chowder.

Print the recipe card for the next time you need a hearty chowder for a cold night.

This shrimp corn chowder has so much flavor and is so great for winter months and served with a warm crusty bread.

It has lots of flavor and is a great dish for week nights and even picky eaters.

You could easily omit the shrimp and it would be a great creamy corn chowder with sweet corn and tender potatoes

Or add chicken to make it a chicken corn chowder.

You could even add a dash of cayenne pepper if you prefer a spicy kick.
