- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ large onion chopped
- 2 large carrots sliced
- 2 stalks celery diced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary minced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 3 cups corn kernels
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 bay leaf optional
Add olive oil to a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp in a single layer, seasoned with salt and pepper, 2 minutes per side until just pink. Remove and set aside.
Add butter, then sauté onion, carrots, and celery for 6–7 minutes until tender.
Stir in flour, garlic, and rosemary until coated; cook about 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
Pour 1 cup chicken stock, scraping the bottom, then add remaining stock, corn, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream, return shrimp, and cook 2–3 minutes until warmed. Remove bay leaf before serving.
