Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat evenly. Cook the mixture for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Add the frozen corn kernels and let the chowder simmer gently for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and season with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the pot from the heat and taste the chowder. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
