Shrimp & Corn Chowder

All I can say is, YUM! This is a very simple recipe that reminds me of Mom's shrimp thermidor. (I sure wish I had my Mom's recipe...) But in the meantime, this is easy and tastes yummy! Very hearty, and a treat for my family since it has shrimp in it...(I've even made this and served it over Pepperidge Farm pastry shells to try and "mock" my Mom's recipe.) Good copycat, in my opinion! NOTE: Her recipe did NOT include corn, although sometimes she would add peas.
