I live in southern MS and can get Cajun boiled crab or shrimp most of the year. I used already boiled shrimp and boiled corn for this recipe along with boiling the shells of the crab/shrimp and using its liquid instead of the chicken broth. It’s my #1 bisque recipe! I LOVE it!!!

Good Chowder! It took me longer than 20 minutes to prep and 30 minutes to cook. I used 1 teaspoon of Recipe #14190. I also used Old Bay for the seasoning for the crab boil seasoning. I love crab but I felt it overpowered the rest of the chowder. Next time I will increase the corn to 1 3/4 cups or 2 cups and increase the cajun seasoning 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 teaspoons. Made for ZWT9 for the Gourment Goddesses July 2013.
