Saturday was a chilly day filled with laundry and paying bills. I bought a Cooking Light Cookbook at Goodwill a few weeks ago and decided to make this Crab Corn Chowder recipe for some comfort. While at the closest grocery store, I realised they did not have any crab so once again, time to improvise. I bought a 1/2lb of shrimp and used that instead. This was so marvelous! We were sitting at the dinner table eating and I could not stop raving about it! Although Will enjoyed it, he was not as quite as enthusiastic. As chef, getting to use some creativity in the recipe is super exciting! Steps towards really being a great cook... knowing how to cook without a recipe. Anyway, here were my adjustments:
I actually used canned corn since that is what was on hand
I used regular potatoes instead of red
I used regular mushrooms on hand, while the soup was simmering I sauteed them with garlic and oo
I also sauteed the shrimp with butter, oo, chopped onion, garlic and a little Cheyenne. I chopped them into pieces and put them along with the mushrooms in right before serving.
Bon Apetit!
