Shrimp chowder is a favorite at family dinners. First of all, shrimps are a “luxury”; it’s something that we don’t prepare every day. So whenever there’s a shrimp dish, we all indulge ourselves with it. Second, shrimps have this distinct taste that go so well with creamy dishes and everyone just gets addicted.
One of our friends from Taste of Home has this to say about this recipe:
“I simmer my rich and creamy shrimp soup in the slow cooker. Because the chowder is ready in less than 4 hours, it can be prepared in the afternoon and served to dinner guests that night.”
It’s a highlight of everyone’s night. It’s a full meal that doesn’t fail to satisfy all dinner guests including the kids; and it’s easy to prepare. While I put everything inside the slow cooker and waits for it to do its magic, I can do other things in between, and finish my other responsibilities without compromising the others.
