Shrimp & Corn Bisque

Fresh shrimp


Now it's time to make them edible...

losing their heads (and shells and veins)


I didn't pay attention to exact measurements, but I think it's something along the lines of this...
1 yellow onion
½ cup chopped bell pepper
½ cup chopped celery
¼ cup green onion
minced garlic
2 cans cream corn
1 ½ cups of shrimp? it was a big handful out of the bag.
1 pint half and half
½ pint heavy cream
Worcestershire and Tony's to taste
bacon (and its grease) could be considered optional

Let's start with bacon, cause that's always a good place to start


Then, saute onions and celery (SUPER TINY FROM A FOOD CHOPPER) in the bacon grease AND butter (there just wasn't enough bacon grease)


Add bell pepper and a little green onion


MORE BUTTER, and shrimp (and minced garlic). This would probably be a good time for the Worcestershire and Tony's.


Then add cream corn from a can


Then run through a blender so it's all blenderized


Add half and half and/or heavy cream (in this case, I put both). Simmer another 10 or 15 minutes.


yummmmyyy


I topped with bacon but it's phenomenal without


If seafood isn't your thing, you could just try a corn chowder.
