Ingredients List
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp dried thyme
500ml chicken or seafood stock
1 cup milk
1 cup thickened cream
300g prawns, peeled and deveined
1½ cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Crusty bread, to serve (optional)
Steps
Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps to soften the potatoes before adding the liquids.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the corn kernels and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through.
Add the prawn meat to the pot, stirring gently to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the prawn meat is cooked through and turns opaque.
Stir in the cream or milk, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, making sure everything is heated evenly.
Optional: Add lemon juice for extra brightness. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy this comforting and creamy prawn and corn chowder!
