Shrimp Garlic butter soup

Shrimp Garlic butter soup

1 pound of shrimp, detailed and chopped
1 cup of carrot chopped
1/2 cup of onion chopped

1 1/2 table spoon of garlic powder
1/2 table spoon of lemon pepper
1/2 table spoon parsley

5-6 table spoons of butter
1 1/2 cup of water
1/2 table spoon of flour

Take the first two table spoons of butter, melting it on low heat till the pan is covered and the butter is a
nice yellow color with no large chunks remaining. Add in our shrimp and vegetables. Here you may increase the heat to medium, cooking until the shrimp is a nice deep pink color and the carrots are soft.

Move this aside into another dish/pot but do not drain any butter that remains, we want that for later. Now start another 3 table spoons of butter and once more melt them over low heat. While still on low heat stir in the 1/2 tablespoon of flour once the butter is melted. After mixing well add in the water and once more stir well. Lastly add in your seasoning till all is mixed in. Stir well and you should get a yellow color, if it looks too watery, take another pan and melt another table spoon of butter and add that, then pour half of the butter the shrimp is soaking in to thicken the water.

Once the soup water is a good color, pour it slowly into the same bowl as the shrimp, stirring until fully mixed. Serve and enjoy.

Final thoughts

A decent side dish, but not the most filling main dish to a meal. Its something fancy and easy to make.
