This is my boyfriend’s favorite – he’s a Cajun, born and raised in Broussard, La.

Directions
Step 1
Melt butter in stock pot. Add whipping cream, half & half, seasonings and 1½ cans of chicken broth.
Step 2
Bring to boil then reduce heat to medium low and cook for approximately 20 minutes, making sure not to scorch.
Step 3
Add red food coloring at this point if you choose this option.
Step 4
Place half of peeled shrimp into a chopper and chop very fine and add to the soup.
