Corn and Crab Bisque

This creamy recipe, which combines the best Gulf crabs with fresh corn and spicy Cajun seasonings, is a down-home favorite in Louisiana, a state well known for its seafood. This may have something to do with the fact that Louisiana has 7,721 miles of shoreline, the second-longest coastline of all mainland US states and is the second-largest seafood-producing state in the country.
