Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of butter
  • 1 finely diced small onion
  • 1/2 a bunch of green onions, finely chopped
  • 3 stalks of celery, finely diced
  • 1 small orange bell pepper, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) reduced-sodium cream of celery soup
  • 10 and 3/4 fluid ounces of water
  • 1 can (14.75 ounces) creamed corn
  • 1 package (10 ounces) of frozen corn kernels
  • 2 pounds of medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pint of half-and-half cream
  • 1/2 cup of freshly chopped parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon of liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon of Creole seasoning (adjust to your liking)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Step 1

Begin by melting butter in a spacious pot over medium heat until it sizzles and releases its rich aroma. Incorporate a medley of onions - both regular and green, along with crunchy celery and vibrant bell pepper. Cook this fragrant mixture until it softens, filling your kitchen with delicious scents.

Step 2

Next, introduce a velvety combination of cream of mushroom soup, creamy celery soup, a can of water, creamy corn, and a burst of frozen corn into the pot. Let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes, giving it an occasional stir until it is thoroughly warmed and blended.

Step 3

Now, gently fold in succulent shrimp, watching as they transform to a lovely opaque hue. Add a touch of half and half and a sprinkle of fresh parsley to elevate the flavors. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and continue to stir for another 15 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld beautifully.

Step 4

To intensify the taste, introduce a dash of liquid shrimp and crab boil seasoning along with a hint of Creole seasoning. Season the dish with a pinch of salt and pepper to your liking, enhancing the flavors further.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your shrimp fresh by storing them in a well-sealed container in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
  2. 2. To make the most of your Cajun spice blend, store it in an airtight container away from direct sunlight to preserve its flavor and potency.
