CRAB, SHRIMP, & POTATO CHOWDER

Steps:

• * Instead of buying multiple small shallots, you can use one plum-sized shallot. It comes to a little more than 1/4 cup, but it still tastes great.
• * If using dried herbs, it's suggested that you use less than the called-for amount, but I used about 3 teaspoons dried thyme and parsley in my modified version.
• * I increased the amount of black pepper to about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 teaspoons I like pepper, and 1/2 teaspoons just didn't seem like nearly enough.
• * If not using canned broth, 2 cups of broth works well.
• * I used two 6 oz. cans of crab meat each time I've made this chowder.
• * I used I lb. of extra-large shrimp, cut into small pieces.
• * This recipe did not call for any salt, but the first time I made it I found it to be somewhat sweet. Since it's such a large amount of chowder, I added about 3/4 tsp of salt, but feel free to add more or less depending on your tastes.
