- Melt the butter in the saucepan and sauté the shrimp until they turn opaque. Add the shrimp to the broth mixture. To the butter add the flour (to make a roux) and stir 1 minute.

It is in addition to the green chilis. The chipotle pepper gives the chowder a smoky heat.

you can use Jalepeno instead of Chipotle. The cans of green chilies are 4 oz each and the evaporated milk is 12 oz.
