Heart Beat Cafe's Cajun Corn Chowder With Shrimp Recipe
- 1 lg. onion
- 3 (16 ounce.) cans kernel corn, liquid removed
- 1/2 pound bay shrimp
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 2 1/2 c. chicken broth
- 2 c. heavy (whipping) cream
- Cajun seasonings to taste
- 1.
- PRE-PREP (can be done well in advance of cooking and held under refrigeration).
- Peel the onion and in a food processor puree to a fine pulp, remove to a bowl.
- After draining the corn well run it through the processor also for about 10 to 15 seconds (some kernels left whole adds texture to the finished product).
- 2.
- COOKING
- Heat the butter in a soup pot, add in the onions and saute/fry.
- Add in 1 Tbsp.
- cajun seasoning, the bay shrimp and the corn, continue cooking about 15 min, stirring frequently.
- Next, add in the chicken broth and 1 1/2 c. cream, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for about 25 to 30 min.
- Continue stirring occasionally.

- FINISHING THE CHOWDER
- While the pot is simmering it's a good time to adjust the seasonings.
- This is a spicy soup and should have a 'bite' to it, but as each persons tastes differ so will the amount of seasoning you will need for 'the bite'.
- I like about 2 1/2 to 3 Tbsp., add in slowly and taste the soup to get your desired spice.
- Use the remaining cream to adjust the consistency if needed.
- My own opinion is this chowder tastes best if it's made a day or possibly 2 in advance allowing time for the seasoning to marinate and develop it's full flavor.
- Serves 6 to 8.
- I recommend using Chef Paul Prudholmes CAJUN MAGIC seasoning for redfish and it is available in most grocery markets.
- ENJOY!
