New England chowder is one of our favorite soups and this shrimp chowder version is a great riff on the clam chowder staple that we know so well. It is hearty and warm and perfect for a cool night. Serve with a salad and oyster crackers or bread, and you will have a very filling meal. I buy frozen shrimp and use it in the winter months...and fresh shrimp when available in the summer months.
