    Shrimp Corn Chowder is an easy seafood soup recipe with potatoes, carrots, corn, and shrimp with a creamy savory base. 

    This easy creamy soup is AMAZING with Soft Fluffy French Bread or some Cheddar Garlic Biscuits!

    There is plenty of shrimp, and this chowder is creamy without being too rich. It's made with mostly milk and broth so it's on the lighter side. It's also loaded with some of my favorite vegetables (HEY POTATOES).

    Ingredients for Shrimp Corn Chowder in bowls on wood cutting board.

    Instructions

    It is SO EASY to make this seafood chowder on the stovetop, but you can also make it in a slow cooker. Here's the basic list of instructions.

    START by sautéing the corn, onion, potatoes (I leave the skins on for nutrition benefits), and carrots together with the butter in a large pot, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until mostly tender.

    ADD in the spices: garlic, paprika, thyme, chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper. Then add in chicken broth and shrimp and simmer for 20-30 minutes.

    PRO TIP: To cut down on prep time, use frozen shrimp that is tail-off and has been de-veined.

    MAKE SLURRY by whisking together milk and flour in a small bowl, then pour slowly into simmering chowder. Stir and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    SERVE with chopped bacon, green onions, and please oh please some crusty bread or cheesy biscuits!

    Variations

    • Want spicy shrimp chowder? Add in ¼ to ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes while the chowder is simmering.
    • More veggies? Add in green peas, sliced zucchini when it's in season, or diced celery for some added greens.
