Ingredients

1 lime
1 pound baby shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 4 ears) or thawed frozen corn kernels (do not use canned corn)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped raw bacon
1 red onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream
6 cups chicken stock
1/2 pound red bliss potatoes, diced
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 bunch scallions, chopped
Oyster crackers, as an accompaniment

Directions

Squeeze lime juice over shrimp placed in a bowl. Add lime skin to bowl, stir to coat, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On a baking sheet, coat corn kernels with oil and roast for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan over low heat, and cook bacon until crisp. Add onions and celery and cook for 5 minutes without browning. Add green bell pepper, red bell pepper, garlic and roasted corn and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in flour to thicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, keeping heat low.

Add cream, chicken stock and potatoes and let cook until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Remove shrimp from marinade and discard liquid. When potatoes are soft, stir in shrimp, lime juice, fresh chopped parsley, and cayenne pepper and cook until shrimp are pink and just cooked through. Spoon into soup bowls and top with scallions. Serve with oyster crackers.

Absolutely Delicious, A must try
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is one of the best corn chowders that I have had, really good flavor. My only suggestion would be to season at... intervals to enhance the flavor. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!! I used turkey bacon, since I don't eat pork and it was still delicious.Read more

Yum, very flavorful and delicious.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The best corn chowder I had in a long time. All the wonderful and different flavors of the vegetables and the lime shrimp to... add to the finishing touch. This requird less seasoning. All the succulent flavors were in the vegetables. Soooo good! The preparation time took 45 min, if you were to chop everthing by hand and the shrimp marinade took an hr. So if your hungry and in a rush to cook this up quickly so you can enjoy. Totally recommended to prepare this recipe a day ahead. This is going down in my recipe book, and would make this again. Although I would substitue the heavy cream for fat-free half and half and just had more flour to thicken the soup if necessary. Very delicious but felt guilty due to all the heavy cream. Overall loves this, thanks Robert for an awesome soup.Read more

A great summer dinner!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My 15 year old son actually made this recipe first and it turned out fantastic! We enjoy the lime flavor alot so we marinade... the shrimp for well over an hour leaving all the lime skins in the bowl to enhance the flavor. We polish the chowder off with a warm crusty bread, a fresh shrimp salad with mandarin oranges and feta cheese - a LOVELY summer evening meal for a small group or a crowd!Read more

like a brazilian carnival parade of flavors in your mouth
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

this soup is amazing. i changed one thing about it: added half the cream (to make it lower fat). then i omitted scallions... and oyster crakers. the scallions would be delicious, but i didn't have any. there is a progression of flavors ending with the cayanne kick... so good!Read more
