Shrimp Chowder Recipe 🍤🥣

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add the diced onion and cook until soft but not browned, about 3-4 minutes. 🧅🧈

2. Add Vegetables and Seasonings:

Add the chopped celery, cubed potatoes, and boiling water to the pot.

Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and celery salt. 🥒🥔🧂

Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. 🕒

3. Incorporate Milk and Shrimp:

Reduce the heat to medium-low.

Stir in the milk and drained shrimp. Let the mixture gently heat for 5-7 minutes. 🥛🍤

4. Add Cheese and Parsley:

Gradually stir in the Swiss cheese and cheddar cheese, mixing until fully melted and the chowder is creamy. 🧀

Fold in the fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color. 🌿

5. Serve:

Ladle the chowder into bowls and serve hot. Pair with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal. 🥣🍞

Tips for the Best Chowder:

Fresh Shrimp Option: Use fresh or frozen shrimp instead of canned for a more robust seafood flavor. Adjust cooking time to ensure the shrimp are just cooked through.

Extra Creaminess: Add a splash of heavy cream for an even richer chowder.

Vegetable Boost: Toss in additional veggies like corn or bell peppers for added flavor and texture.
