Low-Country Chowder With Corn, Shrimp, Sausage, and Potatoes
Print Friendly and PDF

Low-Country Corn Chowder includes the classic ingredients of corn, potatoes, sausage, and shrimp. Low-country cuisine stems from the Georgia and South Carolina “Lowcountry” boil and is one creamy and satisfying one-pot dish. 

If you don’t like shrimp or can’t find clawmeat, just substitute one for the other or use a different seafood. Make it your own!

This chowder will feed a crowd, but you may just want to set some aside for later. Leftovers taste even better the next day.
