Sweet Corn Chowder With Shrimp and Red Peppers

"This recipe is quick and easy. My boys like it because the shrimp makes them think they are eating "high-style" (their words). I like it because it can be on the table in less than 30 minutes."

  1. Awesome! One of the best corn chowders I have ever made!Creamy, chunky and seasoned just right. I used roasted yellow peppers instead of red (although I think red would have been a better choice for looks) and a package of crab/shrimp combination. I would make this one again and again - easily feeds 6 especially with a side of bread or light dessert. And Mary is right, this is quick too! Made for Photo tag.
     
  2. This is really good and different from ordinary corn chowder. I changed the amounts of the ingredients slightly using what I had for a delicious and easy weeknight supper. Thanks for sharing this keeper!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies. <a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=rsc002.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/rsc002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/lucyatpoppys005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=hilfiger001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/hilfiger001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
