delicious recipe, great for the cold weather!
I used a half pound of large shrimp and cut them in half. I also added about 2T. parsley to the butter when i sauteed the onions and celery. Because I used about 3 c. diced potatoes, I needed more milk (about an extra 3/4 c.), but the cream cheese kept the mixture thick. One more addition I made was 1T. of old bay. Excellent flavor! Will make again!
1/3/10- I made this again today, a little more gourmet, but both equally as delish!! I made a shrimp stock with the shells (adding old bay), once the stock was finished, I removed the shells and cooked the shrimp then used the stock to cook the potatoes. I added some white wine (maybe a Tbsp) to the onion celery mixure while it was cooking, and added more half and half for more broth. I did add about a half cup of corn niblets for color and because,,, well chowders and corn marry so well!! OH I also added some lobster that was left from new years dinner :) If you haven't made this yet, you really should! Don't be nervous with the amount of cream cheese, it adds such a great, rich flavor! And if its too thick add more milk, half and half, evaporated milk, shrimp stock or whatever you're using for the liquid in your recipe... restaurant quality for sure!!
