Spicy Crab and Corn Chowder
Fall is coming so you’ll need a good chowder recipe to keep you warm and satisfy your belly. Meet Spicy Crab and Corn Chowder.
I’m in love with chowders. Clam Chowder, Crab Chowder and Corn Chowder are my favorite types of chowder. After having a bowl of delicious Corn Chowder recently at a restaurant in our area, I decided that I wanted to make a corn chowder. Then, earlier this week, I decided that I wanted to make a crab and corn chowder.
My boyfriend and I love spicy foods so I did some research, found a few recipes and put together my own recipe for a spicy crab and corn chowder. This recipe has a nice bite to it but it isn’t too spicy. I used fresh lump crab from my grocers seafood section (the crab comes in 8oz containers located in the refrigerated section of the seafood department in my grocery store) so this chowder also had a nice, delightful crab flavor. Don’t worry, I didn’t catch any of the land crabs that have been roaming our yard in recent weeks.
I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Hey terrific blog! Does running a blog like this take a lot of
work? I have no understanding of programming however I had been hoping to start my own blog

I know this is off topic but I simply needed to ask. Cheers!
I used to be able to find good advice from your articles.
