Corn and Shrimp Bisque

Paul has been traveling a lot since we moved and since he's been on the go & eating out I wanted to have a good, home cooked meal for him to enjoy last night. I would say this is one of our fav's! Since we both LOVE seafood & a fine meal I chose to prepare this Corn and Shrimp Bisque recipe. 

Corn and Shrimp Bisque 

1 stick of butter

1 small bunch of green onions, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 cup finely chopped parsley

2 tbsp flour

1 quart heavy whipping cream

1 quart of milk

1 lb Swiss cheese, shredded

2 tbsp sherry

1 1/2 pounds of shrimp

2 small cans sliced mushrooms, drained

1 large cream corn

1 large can yellow corn, drained

2 large potatoes, chopped

red pepper to taste

salt to taste

1 tsp garlic powder

Directions:

Melt butter in large pot, saute onions & parsley. Blend in flour, cream, milk and cheese until cheese is melted. Add all other ingredients, except shrimp. Cook on low heat for 30 min. Stirring occasionally, making sure it does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Fold in Shrimp and cook an additional 30 min. add salt and pepper as if needed. Serve with French Bread or in a bread bowl!
