Recipe View 15 mins Stir flour mixture into soup, then stir in heavy cream and half-and-half until smooth; stir in shrimp, bacon, and drippings. Return to a simmer over medium-high heat; cook until shrimp are no longer translucent in the center, potatoes are tender, and soup has thickened (approx. 15 minutes). Season with Creole seasoning; stir in crabmeat.

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use vegetable stock.
If fresh corn is not available, frozen corn can be substituted. Be sure to thaw it before adding it to the chowder.
Be careful not to overcook the crabmeat, as it can become rubbery.
