Creating Creamy Coconut Shrimp and Chorizo Chowder is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Sauté Chorizo: In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
2. Cook Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, and chopped red bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Spices: Stir in the smoked paprika and cumin, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
5. Add Shrimp and Corn: Add the shrimp and corn to the pot. Cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Season: Stir in the lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Return Chorizo: Add the crispy chorizo back to the pot, and mix well to combine all flavors.
8. Simmer: Allow the chowder to simmer for another 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
9. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor.
