Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups onions diced
  • 1 ½ cups bell peppers diced
  • 1 ½ cups celery diced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced, heaping
  • 1 stick butter (not margarine)
  • 1 quart whipping cream
  • 1 large potato , diced very finely
  • 1 pint sour cream OR 1 block Cream Cheese
  • 2 pounds shrimp baby
  • 24 ounces seafood broth
  • 2 cans cream style corn
  • 1 can whole kernel corn
  • Cajun seasoning to taste
  • sea salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup green onions chopped
  • parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  • Heat butter in a large pot over low/medium heat.
  • Stir in diced onions, bell peppers, and celery plus the minced garlic
  • Cook on medium to high for 5 minutes, then lower your heat and continue cooking on medium for another 25 minutes until soft and translucent
  • Stir in whipping cream and sour cream and continue stirring; reduce heat if necessary because you do not want the mixture to begin sticking. Pour in seafood broth, and bring to a boil.
  • Stir corn and finely chopped large potato into the boiling broth.
  • You will want to continue adding water when necessary and cooking until the potatoes are cooked, but still a little whole. When your potatoes are done, add BABY shrimp.
  • Once the mixture heats back up, reduce heat to medium / low. Simmer about 5 minutes.
  • Add Cajun Seasoning and salt to taste.
  • Add green onions and remove pot from the hot burner.
  • Let simmer again for 10 minutes. Ready to serve, just add a piece of parsley on the top of the bowl!

Notes

Alternatives for seafood stock:
  1.  Clam juice in equal amount.
  2. Half a cup of chicken broth or half vegetable broth, mixed with half a cup of water, will work.
  3.  White wine deluded with water 1:1.
