Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 teaspoons blackening seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium potatoes, diced

4 cups fresh or frozen corn (about 4 ears of corn if fresh)

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Begin by seasoning the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the blackening seasoning until evenly coated.

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) and cook for 2-3 minutes until blackened and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

      In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the corn and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

          Stir in the heavy cream and smoked paprika. Allow the chowder to heat through for about 5 minutes.

            Return the cooked shrimp to the chowder, gently stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld.

                Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
