Cajun Shrimp, Sausage and Corn Chowder

Submitted by chelle6576

"Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: This recipe was an inspiration from my first experience eating a chowder. Being from the south, I had never eaten anything like this until a friend of mine brought a bowl home from work. After the first bite, I knew I had to re-create the recipe. This is my version, with of course, bacon and potatoes added to the flavor profile!"

This was outstanding, and I can't think of anything I would do to tweak it. The seasoning was spot on, and even the Peanut Gallery really loved it! Keeping this as a "Cold Weather" recipe.
