Superb seafood chowder! I used 12 oz of shrimp instead of 1/2 lb, just because we love shrimp. I left the crabmeat at 1/2 lb. Loved the Old Bay flavor. Clams would be great in this, too. Thanx! -
Our daughter prepared this once when we visited in Rockville, Md. It was around 8:00 p.m. when we got there and this was the perfect dish after being in the car for six hours and great in the tummy to retire on for the evening. I would make this for family, friends, old and new. B. Lovett, North Carolina
