i love clam chowder but if you made it you know it isnt cheap. well my son in law doest like fish or sea food. someone gave him a 2lb bag of tiny shrimp. he knew just where to drop them off! i was thinking on what to do with them so i used my sisters recipe and put in shrimp instead. its actually pretty good but would have been better if i would have doubled the clam juice. but i ended up with about 2 gallons of tasty soup. i love chowder on a cold winter day!!
