Provided by Luby Luby Luby

Categories     Corn

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lbs shrimp (shells on)
1/2 cup real butter
1 cup onion, chopped fine
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup green onion, finely sliced
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cups shrimp stock
1 pint whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
2 (15 ounce) cans cream-style corn
1/2 lb good quality bacon (fried and crumbled) or 1/2 lb diced tasso, if you can find it
1 teaspoon basil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper (more if you want hot)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 onion, quartered (for stock)

Steps:

  • Rinse shrimp in cool water then peel and save shells.
  • In large pot place shrimp shells, 2 quarts of water and quartered onion and bring to a boil, gently boiling shells.
  • Continue boiling until you end up with about 2 cups of stock (at least 45 minutes).
  • Strain the stock into a bowl, discard shells and onion and set aside.
  • In large heavy dutch oven melt butter over medium heat and saute the onions, green onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic until vegetables are soft being careful not to burn.
  • Reduce the fire to low and add the shrimp cooking until pink, about 3 minutes (no more-do not overcook).
  • Remove the mixture from the dutch oven and separate into 2 equal portions.
  • Set one portion aside and run the other portion through the food processor until it is finely shredded (not pasty).
  • Pour reserved shrimp stock in the dutch oven and add the shredded shrimp/vegetable mixture, whipping cream and whole milk.
  • Mix well, turn heat to medium high bring to a gentle boil and stir uncovered for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the creamed corn and crumbled bacon (or tasso), mixing well and cook for another 4 minutes.
  • As it is simmering add the basil, salt, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne and tabasco.
  • Next add the reserved whole shrimp (the unshredded portion), mixing well.
  • Cover the dutch oven and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes.
  • Place in serving bowls and garnish with cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Use fresh shrimp and corn for the best flavor. If you're using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the shrimp, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure it's flavorful. You can use a store-bought broth or make your own using chicken, beef, or vegetable scraps.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the soup. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes.
  • Season to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a touch of acidity with lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Garnish before serving: Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This corn and shrimp soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp.
