Cajun Shrimp Chowder
This Cajun shrimp chowder brings together shrimp, corn, tomatoes, and asparagus in a rich, spiced broth. It starts with crisp bacon, which lends its rendered fat to sautéing the vegetables. Everything comes together in about half an hour, making it a quick option for a weeknight. A final swirl of cream and fresh shrimp finishes the soup.

Cook Bacon, Sauté Vegetables
In a frying pan, cook the 3 slices of bacon until they're crisp. Remove the bacon, chop it, and set aside. Drain most of the rendered fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
Increase the heat to medium, then add the asparagus, onion, and garlic to the pan. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften and the garlic is fragrant.
