SPICY SHRIMP CHOWDER
I love chowders, shrimp and spice, so what is not to like about this soup. I like to add a dollop of my "house salsa", which is a mixture of habeneros and chipotles in adobo sauce. It is also in this cookbook. Be careful though, it is really hot, but lots of flavor.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. Frozen shrimp can be used, but fresh shrimp will give your chowder a more delicate and nuanced flavor.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp just until it turns pink and opaque.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your chowder more flavor and texture. Some good vegetables to use include celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, and corn.
- Use a flavorful broth. A good seafood broth or chicken broth will give your chowder a rich and savory flavor. You can also use a combination of broths.
- Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the chowder is flavorful and well-balanced.
- Serve the chowder hot. Chowder is best served hot, so make sure to heat it through before serving.
Conclusion:
Shrimp chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With its creamy broth, tender shrimp, and flavorful vegetables, shrimp chowder is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
