Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves; cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 6 cups broth and 2 sliced carrots. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until carrots are just tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 2 ears of corn pieces and simmer for another 5 minutes, until corn is bright yellow and tender.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the 1 lb shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the 0.25 cup chopped parsley and serve hot.
