Steps:
- To make the seasoning mixture, mustard, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, thyme, basil, black pepper, cayenne and oregano in a small bowl, and set aside. To make the creamy mixture, place the evaporated skim milk, nonfat dry milk, mayonnaise and cream cheese in a blender and mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Puree 1 cup of the onions, 2 cups of the corn, 1/2 cup of the apple juice, and 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix in a blender or food processor. Preheat a heavy 5-quart pot, preferably nonstick, over high heat for about 4 minutes. Place the pureed ingredients in the pot and add 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix. Cook, scraping occasionally, until a brown crust forms on the bottom and the volume is reduced, about 12 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will give your bisque the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will work as well.
- Clean the shrimp properly. Be sure to remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp before cooking them.
- Sauté the vegetables. Sautéing the vegetables in butter will help to bring out their flavor.
- Use a good quality stock. The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your bisque. Use a homemade stock if you can, or use a good quality store-bought stock.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Shrimp should be cooked until they are just pink and opaque.
- Serve with crusty bread or crackers. Crusty bread or crackers are the perfect accompaniment to shrimp and corn bisque.
Conclusion:
Shrimp and corn bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp and corn, and it is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
