Cajun Corn and Shrimp Bisque with Beans

This delicious cajun corn and shrimp bisque recipe breaks tradition in the best way, with the inclusion of red or pink beans. The beans add texture and protein while keeping the dish light. The bisque’s delightful creaminess comes from cream style corn rather than heavy cream, and the shrimp, alongside onion and spices, packs a powerful flavor. Enjoy!
