Shrimp Clam Chowder

---

This is a very rich, great tasting chowder. Perfect for fall and winter, or if your in the mood for some comfort food. Note: i've only used smoked paprika in this dish, not sure how regular paprika will taste, (if you decide to include it) it is optional...**this recipe has been updated, thank you to my reviewers :d
