Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium potatoes, diced (about 2 cups)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
How to Make Creamy Shrimp Chowder
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, add the heavy cream and dried thyme to the pot. Stir to combine and let it heat through, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and ladle the chowder into bowls. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine when sautéing the onions.
- Make sure the shrimp are cooked just until pink to avoid rubbery texture.
- If you prefer a thicker chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes in the pot before adding the shrimp.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the shrimp for crab or lobster for a luxurious twist.
- Add corn or diced bell peppers for extra sweetness and crunch.
- For a spicy kick, include a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
What to Serve With It
- Crusty bread or rolls for dipping
- A fresh side salad with vinaigrette
- Garlic bread for a hearty complement
- Steamed vegetables for added nutrition
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover chowder in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream if it thickens too much.
