Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Tag game and forgot to post...what a wonderful chowder! I didn't have bay shrimp so I used small shrimp cut into pieces which still worked and the spice wasn't overpowering...just a creamy and delicious chowder (sorry I guess I already said that). Definately going into my Favorites for 2011. Thank you.

I was craving shrimp and corn chowder/soup and when I found this recipe, I knew I wanted to try it for your Wildcard Playoff 2010 win. The ease of preparation really sold me on it. I didn't use quite as much cajun seasoning as I was afraid it would overpower the sweeteness of the corn. I used 1/2 Tiger Dust and 1/2 soul seasoning. It turned out really well and I certainly enjoyed the texture and creaminess. I bet it will be even better the second day.

Spicey and Creamy. This is a delicious chowder. The cajun spice gives this quite a kick, so use sparingly if you don't like a lot of heat. Used reduced fat 1/2 and 1/2 and real butter. Delicious!
