Cooking Instructions
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. This will create a warm base for the flavors to develop fully, taking about 2 minutes.
Sauté onion and garlic until soft. Stir frequently, allowing them to release their rich, aromatic scents for approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add corn and cook for 5 minutes. The corn should begin to brighten and sweeten, blending perfectly with the sautéed onion and garlic.
Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. This creates a flavorful foundation for your bisque, so keep an eye on it as it heats.
Incorporate shrimp and cook until they turn pink. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes, ensuring they’re tender and juicy.
Stir in heavy cream, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let the creamy bisque envelop all the delicious ingredients together.
Simmer for 10 minutes. Allow the flavors to meld beautifully while the bisque thickens slightly, creating a luscious consistency.
Garnish with parsley before serving. This brightens your bisque visually and adds a fresh flavor, making it even more inviting.
For serving, enjoy with crusty bread to soak up every delicious drop!
