Instructions

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and celery; sauté until softened.
Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
Add sweet corn, thyme, bay leaves, and cayenne, then stir in the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn opaque.
Stir in the heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or some diced bell peppers. If you like your chowder thicker, mash some of the corn with a fork before adding the shrimp. Use fresh shrimp if possible; it adds a wonderful taste, but frozen shrimp works well too.
