# Steps:
01 -
In a medium bowl, toss shrimp with 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until seared and opaque. Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate and set aside.
03 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped beef to the same pot, cooking until crispy and browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove beef with a slotted spoon and set aside with shrimp, leaving drippings in the pot.
04 -
Add diced onion, red bell pepper, and celery to the remaining drippings. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
05 -
Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
06 -
Pour in chicken broth, then add diced potatoes and corn. Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
07 -
Pour in heavy whipping cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning. Stir gently to combine.
08 -
Carefully transfer about 2 cups of the chowder to a blender and blend until smooth, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Return the purée to the pot and stir to blend.
09 -
Return reserved shrimp and beef to the chowder. Spoon into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
# Notes:

For a spicier chowder, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or additional blackened seasoning in step 7.
