Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels

4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

2 cups vegetable broth

2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for a richer flavor)

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 tbsp unsalted butter

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

    Cook the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

      Add Corn and Seasoning: Stir in the sweet corn, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the chowder to simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.

        Incorporate Dairy: Slowly pour in the whole milk and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the chowder to warm through without boiling, about 5 minutes.

          Cook the Shrimp: Gently add the shrimp to the chowder. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

            Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chowder and adjust the seasoning as necessary with more salt and pepper.

              Serve: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
