How to Make Cajun Shrimp And Corn Chowder

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in 2 cups of frozen corn, 4 cups of chicken stock, and 1 cup of whipping cream.
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Carefully transfer the soup in small batches to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
  6. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan.
  7. Add 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning and 1 pound of bay shrimp. Stir well to combine.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the chowder sit for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Reheat gently before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.
