For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half. If you don't have canned chipotle peppers, a pinch of cayenne pepper will add a similar heat. Fresh corn kernels, cut straight from the cob, provide the best flavor when in season. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, or they will become rubbery.
