New Orleans Shrimp and Corn Bisque

lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

corn kernels

onion,

garlic,

unsalted butter

all-purpose flour

broth

heavy cream

diced bell pepper

smoked paprika

cayenne pepper (optional

Salt and black pepper

green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Sauté the veggies

Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté these until they soften—about 5-6 minutes. Add the minced garlic, and cook for an extra minute to bring out the rich flavors.

Make the roux

Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to make a light roux. This helps thicken the bisque. Gradually pour in the seafood or chicken broth, stirring as you go to avoid any lumps.

Add the corn and spices

Stir in the corn kernels, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if you like a bit of heat), salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, letting the corn get tender and all the flavors meld together.

Add shrimp and cream

Now, it’s time for the stars of the show: the shrimp and cream! Pour in the heavy cream and toss in the shrimp. Let them cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked through. At this point, taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.

Serve and garnish

Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley, and enjoy a comforting, creamy bisque that’ll have everyone asking for seconds!
