Creamy Seafood Chowder
Most clam chowders are full of carbs, so instead of potatoes, I’ve added more protein with langostinos, which look and taste like tiny lobsters. If you’re on a budget you can certainly skip them and just call it clam chowder. And as all New Englanders know, seafood chowder is not just for the winter – it’s year-round deliciousness.
