Slow Cooker Cajun Corn and Shrimp Chowder
So two weekends ago the weather was bitter cold, icy and snowy forcing us inside on the treadmill for a 7.5 mile long run. This weekend was a huge flip… so beautiful outside and although part of our 9 mile training run was tough it was just so good to be soaking up some sunshine. After brunch with my parents (you know, had to eat back all those calories I had burned!) we pretty well spent the rest of the day outside. We tried to just enjoy every last minute of warmth and no jackets that we could because this week we are back on a roller coaster of temperatures.
While I love having the break from the cold since it certainly helps improve my mood, I’m not loving the sniffly noses and scratchy throats. Just when we get adjusted everything goes and flips around on us.
My cure for these ailments? Soups! Stews!! Chowders!! Whether warm or cold I could eat soup every day. And when your throat is feeling yucky? Nothing is more soothing or easier to eat.
The added benefit of this Cajun Corn Chowder is the bit of spice! Will totally clear up any stuffy noses. Make some of this super easy chowder for dinner and everyone will be feeling back to their best in no time!

I made this yesterday for dinner and WOW it was delicious!! My boyfriend and I were blown away. He even took some to work for lunch today and I have some left over to eat here at home for lunch. I will 100% for sure be making this again!! I was scared of adding any salt as I didn’t have low sodium chicken broth and knew the new cajun seasoning I was going to be using probably had a ton in it, and it turned out perfectly! I highly recommended making this at least once!!
Amazing, so happy to hear you and your boyfriend enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for your comments!
