As with most chowders, this is much better served the second day. Let it sit in the fridge overnight, reheat and serve! Sometimes I will add some crushed red pepper when I saute the onion. The Maine shrimp can be substituted with other small shrimp.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 lb bacon
1 onion, diced
4 potatoes, peeled and chopped
water
1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash seasoning mix
1 1/2 lbs maine shrimp, shelled
1 (14 ounce) can corn
1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 pint light cream
1 cup milk (or more if desired)
2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash seasoning mix
salt
pepper

Directions

1
In a stockpot, cook 3 slices of the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, drain and crumble; set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings.
2
Add the onion and saute in bacon drippings until tender, about 8 minutes.
3
Placed chopped pototoes over onions and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Add 1 tsp of Mrs Dash.
4
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are tender.
5
Meanwhile, cook remaining bacon; drain and crumble.
6
Add corn, bacon and shrimp and cook until the shrimp are opaque.
7
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
8
Stir in evaporated milk.
9
Stir in light cream.
10
Stir in milk (depending upon how thick you like your chowders, you may add more or less milk at this point).
11
Add 2 tsp Mrs Dash.
12
Reheat soup to just boiling, but do not boil.
13
Add salt and pepper to taste.
14
Remove from heat and cool.
15
Refrigerate overnight and slowly reheat to serve.

I loved this! I did change up the Mrs. Dash...used 1 tsp original, 1 tsp garlic & herb, and then used 1 tsp Old Bay for the seasonings. I used some Cavendar's Greek and left out the salt and pepper. I also left the milk out, otherwise, my chowder would have been too liquidy. I can't imagine adding anymore liquid, or the chowder would be too thin. Made for PRMR tag, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tag! Thanks for posting a great recipe.

I was orginally from Boston, moved to North Carolina four years ago. They don't make good chowders like New England. I was so excited to have this fabulous recipe to serve my husband and southern friends who said it was out of this world and requested this everytime we have a cookout or a party. Thanks for sharing !!!

Awesome! My dh, who does not care for corn chowders, said, "This is pretty good!" and went back for seconds! When he was finished he commented, "That was some pretty good eating!" High praise from a many who doesn't care for corn in his soups! Very good flavors and easy to make. I used frozen sweet corn and I did use fat-free evaporated milk and half&half in place of the light cream, just to cut down on calories, but it was still nice and creamy. I used "Chef's Blend" seasoning, which is just like Mrs. Dash so I don't think it changed the outcome. Thank you for a delicous meal we are going to repeat many times!!

Instead of the cream and milk I used FF half and half along with 1 can of FF evaporated milk. I used 2 tsp. Tony Chachere's seasoning mix in place of Mrs. Dash seasoning mix too. It added lots of flavor. This soup is so darn good it will have you going back for 2nds and 3rds. Trust me! Thank you Kim for sharing!
