Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
Season shrimp all over with Cajun seasoning.
Once the pan is hot, sear the shrimp 1 to 2 minutes each side, until just pink. Shrimp may need to be cooked in two batches so that they don’t crowd the pan. Remove the shrimp from the skillet to a clean plate, and set aside.
Melt butter in the same pot, scraping up any browned bits with a spoon. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and flour, and cook 30 seconds more. Add chopped potatoes, broth, thyme sprigs, and green onions, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in corn and cream, and simmer 5 minutes more. Turn off heat and stir in cooked shrimp, tuna, and paprika. Taste for salt & pepper. Remove thyme sprigs.
