Shrimp & Corn Chowder

We halved this recipe to accommodate a small Crock Pot and substituted the shrimp for the pre-packaged seafood blend (squid, octopus, shrimp, surimi) and it was DELICIOUS! To be honest, I wasn't excited about eating squid and whatever the heck surimi is... but I loved it. I'm sure you could substitute the shrimp with scallops or other tasty seafood. Enjoy!


Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 bunch green onions, sliced
1 bell pepper, chopped
1/2 lb shrimp
1 stick butter
2 bouillon cubes (chicken)
1 cans cream corn
1 can cream of potato soup
1 quart of milk (to thin soup)
2 tsp. creole seasoning
salt & pepper to taste


Directions:
1. Melt butter in large pan.
2. Saute onions & bell peppers in butter.
3. Add 1 tsp of seasoning.
4. Add shrimp or crawfish before onions are completely wilted. Stir to combine.
5. Add remaining ingredients, including second tsp. of seasoning.
6. Add more milk if necessary to thin.
7. Cook on low for about 20 minutes. Taste for seasonings. Add more salt, pepper & seasoning to taste
