Recipe from Evelyn Bowman
Our friends Evelyn and Larry Boman invited us for comfort food on a chilly Florida night (yes chilly Florida night!). As always, our hosts were gracious, menu well selected and food delicious.
Most special was Evelyn’s Shrimp Chowder. As New Englanders, Nancy and I know chowders and hers was terrific. Knowing I’d be blown away with its simplicity, she grinned as she handed me her detailed recipe card.
Preparations are minimal, ingredients mostly prepackaged, economical brands used, and assembly quite easy.
Evelyn said don’t be afraid to customize proportions to your taste. Adjust proportions of milk and cream for preferred consistency. Add more shrimp or alter spices and/or heat with pepper flakes. ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes proved perfect.
Her chowder was made earlier. Shrimp added and cooked just before we arrived.
Recipe makes about 9-cups.
* Great Value brand or similar
