Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

This soup combines tender shrimp with bold Cajun spices for a comforting meal full of flavor. It’s perfect for warming up on a chilly day or impressing guests with its rich, spicy broth.

Best Cooking Tips

- Use fresh or thawed shrimp for the best texture and taste.
- Sauté the vegetables until soft to build a deep, flavorful base.
- Adjust the Cajun seasoning to your heat preference, adding more if you like it spicy.

Directions

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the onion, green onions, celery, and bell pepper. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the veggies are nice and tender. Next, pour in the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, a can of water (using the soup can to measure), creamed corn, and frozen corn. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick and everything heats through evenly. Then, add the shrimp and cook just until they turn opaque. Stir in the half and half and some fresh parsley, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, and keep it cooking for another 15 minutes, stirring every so often. Finally, mix in the liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning along with the Creole seasoning, and taste to see if it needs any salt or pepper. Give it one last stir, and it’s ready to serve!

What To Serve With This Dish

Serve with crusty bread or over steamed rice to soak up the delicious broth. A side of crisp green salad or roasted vegetables pairs well to balance the spice.

How To Store This Recipe

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid overcooking the shrimp, which can become rubbery.
