I sauteed some onions and garlic in a little butter, and added a small amount of flour as a thickener. I added the stock and 2 peeled, diced potatoes. The soup simmered until the potatoes were tender. Then I added about 1 cup of medium sized shrimp, the crab meat, and 1/2 cup of frozen corn. After the shrimp were cooked through, I took the chowder off the heat and added some fresh chopped dill.

Shrimp and crab chowder
It's dungeness crab season here in California, and I'm trying to make the most of it. For this chowder (which served 2 people), I picked the meat from 1 crab that was a little over a pound. I used the shells, along with shrimp shells and lobster shells, to make a stock for the base of the chowder.
