Corn and Shrimp Chowder

Corn and Shrimp Chowder
Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I have a love-hate relationship with Costco. I feel like a cliche American as I push my ocean liner of a cart around the store filling it with super-sized boxes of everything from potato chips to socks. But the love comes in with a recipe like this. This corn and shrimp chowder is made easy with one of those giant bags of frozen corn and frozen shrimp. The convenience and quality outshadow any gripes I have with Costco.

My favorite Costco staples

There are a few things I like to have around and Costco is the best option for quality and price. Like you aren’t going to find a better price on pure vanilla extract than at Costco. (Sure hoping that prices go down soon and those dang vanilla crops start producing). I also love that $4.99 rotisserie chicken. (who on earth doesn’t?!) It’s great for quick meals and then make the carcass into chicken stock. Click HERE for a recipe for that. I also love having Costco frozen vegetables on hand like sweet corn and green beans. Three cheers for the frozen fruit too. By way of frozen meats and seafood, I love the shrimp and tubes of ground beef. I usually don’t get too crazy on my Costco runs. I stick to the list because if I don’t, my $125 trip turns into a $300. Yikes. We all know how that goes down.

Corn and shrimp chowder thanks to the Big C

Two of the main ingredients of this soup are from Costco. The frozen shrimp comes in 2-pound bags. I usually use 1 pound for whatever I am making for dinner. So one bag can work for 2 meals. The shrimp defrosts super quick. I put it in a strainer and then fill my kitchen sink with cold water and set the strainer in it. The shrimp are soft and defrosted within minutes. The frozen corn gets thrown in still frozen, so no extra prep on that. You just can’t beat easy and delicious. This soup is just all things comforting. Creamy and sweet with chunks of potatoes and juicy shrimp. All you need is a hunk of good bread. Don’t forget to text your partner to pick some up on their way home. You won’t regret it.

Notes on preparation

  • I have written this recipe to be a little bit on the thinner side. If you are wanting it thicker, let me share my latest trick. Spoon out 1/4 cup of the soup into a small bowl, removing any chunks of vegetables. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Then whisk that mixture back into the soup. If it is too thick, add some more chicken stock.
  • If you aren’t into shrimp, how about some chicken? I would dice up some chicken thigh and saute it before sauteing any vegetables. Set it aside and then saute the veggies in the chicken fat left in the pan. Stir that chicken back in at the end and you’re in business.
  • You can peel the potatoes if you want, but I leave mine unpeeled I like the texture of the peels. But it’s totally up to you.

I love chowder! I especially love Abbott’s shrimp and corn chowder in Noank, CT. So, imagine how thrilled I was to find this recipe that tastes so much like theirs! I swear it’s that red bell pepper in there. The one change I made was to chop up the shrimp so there’s shrimp throughout. This chowder is my new favorite. I’m making it again today. Thank you, Whitney!

I love the idea of chopping up the shrimp. I am going to do that next time!

This is confusing to me… “1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic, about 3 tablespoons”. Please explain.

Hi Ann, thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. I went in and fixed that. Sorry for the confusion. I also changed the recipe to use one pan instead of two, hopefully cutting down on dishes! There is also a nutrition label now as well. So please feel free to click back over and make that corn and shrimp chowder. I think you will love it.

LOCO MOCO 🍳🍚🍔 This is a newer favorite at LOCO MOCO 🍳🍚🍔 This is a newer favorite at my house. It is Hawaiian comfort food. Rice topped with a burger patty, brown gravy and a fried egg. It was @phil.rosenthal who reminded me of it. I hadn’t had it in years. I made it for my kids a few weeks ago and they fell in love. I make this more home kitchen-friendly by cooking the burgers in the oven. This is so I don’t set off the fire alarms in my house like I did when I cooked the patties on the stove. While the burger patties cook, I bring together a super simple brown gravy. Then we fry up some eggs and done! Recipe link in profile🔝
