How to Make Cajun Shrimp Soup
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Carefully whisk the flour mixture into the hot oil, ensuring no lumps form. Cook and stir constantly until the mixture is golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Add 1 medium chopped onion, 1 chopped green bell pepper, 2 chopped celery stalks, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the pot. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in 1 cup frozen corn, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce (adjust to taste).
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in 1 pound cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined) and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
- Heat through for 2-3 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with extra parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
