Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups fresh corn (or frozen if not in season)
  • 4 cups seafood stock or chicken stock
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
  2. Stir in the Old Bay seasoning and paprika, cooking for an additional minute to release their flavors.
  3. Add the fresh or frozen corn to the pot, mixing well to combine with the sautéed vegetables.
  4. Gradually pour in the seafood stock or chicken stock, stirring to incorporate all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Allow the bisque to simmer for about 15 minutes so the flavors can meld beautifully.
  6. Stir in the peeled and deveined shrimp. Cook until they turn opaque, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, and add the heavy cream and tomato paste to the pot. Stir well to combine, and let it heat through without boiling.
  8. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preferences.
  9. Once everything is well mixed and heated, remove the pot from the heat.
  10. Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnishing with chopped green onions and fresh parsley if desired.

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • The bisque can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • A large pot, ladle, sharp knife, measuring cups and spoons, and an optional blender are helpful tools.
