We made this shrimp & corn chowder last night and just enjoyed two more heaping bowls of leftovers. It's hearty and great for these still chilly spring nights. Per usual, we served this with a huge hunk of warm, crusty bread. I also added a hint of sugar to create a nice sweet & spicy taste that aids our wimpy taste-buds.
I know there are quite a few of you shrimp-haters out there, so for you anti-shrimp people, I think this soup would be equally as tasty with some chicken or turkey!
Well, I'm off to go

I think the only person who doesn't like shrimp is my husband. He doesn't know what he's missing. I, on the other hand love shrimps. Though I never made this for cowder, I am pretty tempted to try it. Look delice Sharon!
