Creamy Shrimp Chowder is an easy homemade chowder, rich, comforting and the perfect comfort food on a chilly day

Creamy Shrimp Chowder is a rich, comforting meal for dinner or lunch.

Shrimp is one of our all time favorites and I love using it in as many as possible recipes. And let me tell you, Shrimp is used in anything from appetizers, snacks and main meals.

I am sure if you put this Chowder in a blender and blitz for a minute or two, you can really count it as a drink as well!

This is the perfect Chowder to drive away any Winter chills. We are smack down into Summer right now in South-Africa. But I always crave a good soup or chowder after a nice long rain.

Which of course we have during Summer – together with some heavy thunderstorms – unlike some countries who have their rains and storms all mixed in with snow during Winter.

You should have most of the ingredients in your pantry, except maybe the Shrimp. Which can always be substituted with Chicken if you have no time to pop into the supermarket or your local seafood store.
