A rich and velvety chowder filled with tender shrimp, hearty potatoes, and a touch of savory cheese, perfect for cozy family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large onions, cut into thin wedges
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 3 cups cubed peeled potatoes (1/2-inch dice)
  • 1 cup water (plus more if needed)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 pounds uncooked small shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups corn
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Sauté the onions in butter over medium heat until they become tender, around 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the cubed potatoes to the pot along with 1 cup of water, the salt, and pepper. Bring this mixture to a boil.
  3. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Fold in the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 5 minutes.
  5. Heat the whole milk in a separate saucepan over low heat and gradually stir in the shredded cheese until melted.
  6. Combine the milk and cheese mixture with the potato and shrimp mixture, then add corn and heat through without boiling.
  7. Stir in the minced parsley just before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice just before serving. For a thicker chowder, mash some of the potatoes before adding the milk mixture.
