DH visits a seafood restaurant about once a month. Though I don't like the fried options, this seafood spot has an occasional special shrimp and corn chowder. It is delicious. But this last time he brought it home for me, I started to think I can recreate this!
Today in going through the freezer I found a bag of cooked shrimp way in the back. There were 8 medium sized precooked shrimp. I decided to experiment and see what I could come up with.
I did a small dice of 4 ready to go celery stalks and one small onion. I softened these in about two tablespoons of butter. I cut each shrimp into quarters after defrosting them under running water. Added them to the pot.
Half a carton of vegetable broth, two cans of creamed corn (bought by accident when I didn't have my glasses on while shopping) and a slow simmer.
Final additions were the last of some crumbled bacon (about 1/8 of a cup) and some paprika.
It was very easy, tastes just as good as the restaurants and a bit less spicy.
Update. Gpa P says it's a WINNER!
