Description

Dive into the rich and flavorful world of New Orleans cuisine with this indulgent New Orleans Shrimp and Corn Bisque. This creamy, velvety soup is a true taste of Southern comfort, blending the succulent sweetness of shrimp and the golden sweetness of corn in every spoonful.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3 cup seafood or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Create the Roux: Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux. This will help thicken the bisque.

3. Add the Liquids: Gradually whisk in the seafood or chicken broth, followed by the heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

4. Incorporate the Corn and Spices: Stir in the corn kernels, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Allow the bisque to simmer for 5-7 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

5. Cook the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the simmering bisque and cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the New Orleans Shrimp and Corn Bisque into bowls, garnishing each serving with sliced green onions and chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

The New Orleans Shrimp and Corn Bisque is a masterful blend of flavors and culinary techniques that have been perfected over generations. The use of a roux helps to thicken the bisque, creating a silky-smooth and velvety texture.
