Fall Sundays are the best time for me to be creative in my kitchen and treat my family with those wonderful recipes. Tonight, we started our dinner with a simple and delicious Spicy Cajun Shrimp Soup. Shrimp makes everything better, and this soup was the highlight of our Sunday. As a shrimp-lover, I may be biased, but this recipe is super delicious and wish you could taste it. Bon Appetit!

I love shrimp. When my ex used to work in the seafood dept at the local grocery store, he was always bringing home some nice shrimp to eat. The soup looks delicious.
It was delicious, we love shrimp!
This looks delicious. It could also be a really nice starter for a Christmas dinner
I agree, Chloe!
This is just perfect. I have some guests visiting next week and I believe this is a perfect addition to our menu.
Thank you for sharing the recipe. It looks easy to prepare that’s why I am so excited to try it.

I don’t eat seafood, but for those that do this is a bowl of winter warmness. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Melanie, sorry, we enjoyed it for you.
Yum! This sounds amazing and easy enough for me to make! I love soup in winter so I definitely will save this and try it!!
Same here, Fall and Winter are the best time to enjoy some delicious soup
This looks super yummy. I don’t eat shrimp anymore, but man this is making me miss it. Especially in a soup with spicy flavor.
We enjoyed it for you, Rhonda!
Oh my this looks delicious! I’ll have to try it when we get home from vacation since my moms is severely allergic to shellfish! And how appropriate to read this Cajun recipe as I’m driving through the Louisiana swamps on my way to Florida!
Enjoy, Stephanie!
My husband would love this recipe! He loves anything shirmp and cajun!
Mine did enjoy it, Neely!
Nom, nom, nom !! Happiness on a plate, well actually on a soup bowl. This looks incredibly tasty, I can`t eat spicily but I am quite tempted to adapt it and give it a try.
This is exactly how I felt, Catalina, happiness on a plate.
Cajun seasoning, creamed corn and shrimp, Yum! Its not possible to go wrong with those ingredients in the base for your spicy cajun shrimp soup 😉
It was perfect, Joshua!
I’ve never really eaten shrimp, I don’t do the cooking (which will change soon) and this looks like the best place to start. Looks delicious
Cooking is therapeutic for me, Vanessa, always brings me joy.
OOOOO GIRL! I am a sucker for anything with cajun seasoning or cajun inspired. By far one of my favorite kinds of food out there!
Same, Jennifer!
Oh my word this looks so creamy! I prefer creamy over clear soups and this looks perfect for the chilly weather we’re having.
Same, Joline, the creamier, the better!
Love this Spicy Cajun Shrimp Soup! perfect for cold weather <3 YUMMYY
I agree, Maysz!
I don’t do shellfish for the most part. But my hubby and girls love shrimp, so will need to share this recipe with him so he can cook it for the three of them the next time I am out of town!
Let them try, Flossie, and let me know.
This looks so delicious! My family loves cajun food, so I can’t wait to give this a try…YUM!!!
Same here, the whole family loves cajun, Angela!
I love the Cajun flavors in this recipe! Sunday dinners at your house look delicious and welcoming.
You are welcome to visit and share our meal, Christa!
I’m sadly allergic to shrimp but oh my, I know my husband would be all about this dish
Sorry to hear that, shellfish allergy is pretty serious, Tamara
Sounds delicious and easy for cooking. Never tried cajun food before and this might be the first chance.
Try and let me know, Jack!
MMMMM, this looks so good. lol. This is definitely a recipe that I will be trying out.
It was delicious, hope you like it, April.
This sounds easy and packed with flavour. What a hearty meal to keep on hand for cold weather.
You said it well, Jackie, it was packed with flavor.
Oooo this looks like a really great dish! Im not a fan of shrimp, but it would be easy enough to replace it with chicken or some other meat. This would be a great dish for the winter time here!
Absolutely, I always substitute or recreate dishes.
This looks delicious!! Can’t wait to try it!
