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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add diced onion and celery, cooking for 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the chicken or seafood stock, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Add the diced potato and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the potato begins to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the corn kernels, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the chowder to gently warm through, but do not let it boil.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair with crusty bread if desired.
