Step 1
Season the shrimp with about half of the Cajun spice blend in a small bowl and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until the veggies begin to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Add the diced potatoes, other half of the Cajun spice blend, and garlic then cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly so the garlic doesn't burn.
Step 3
Melt the butter in the pot with the vegetables. Once the butter is melted, add in the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to combine it with the butter. Continue to cook while stirring for another two minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Step 4
Gradually add the chicken stock to pot while stirring constantly. Bring the soup to a boil then reduce the heat to medium and continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.
Step 5
Stir in the frozen corn and shrimp and continue to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Stir in the heavy cream, season the soup with more salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the soup is thickened and creamy.
Step 6
Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions. Divide the soup into bowls, garnish with more chopped green onion and enjoy!
