Bright and spicy, this corn chowder is bursting with Caribbean flavor. Our Biscayne Citrus Rub is featured here, packed with spices like thyme, oregano, chile flakes, and citrus peel to bring out the natural sweet flavor of the corn. Smoked ham gives this chowder a meaty flavor, and the corn is grilled to bring a bit of fiery flavor.

To get a perfect texture in this chowder, the ham and vegetables should be uniformly diced small. Cubes of about 1/4 inch work well. Aside from a bit of chopping, this dish is quick and easy to bring together. It’s perfect as a side dish for a backyard summer bbq or a low-maintenance weeknight meal.
