Start by gathering and prepping your ingredients, chopping vegetables, and cleaning your shrimp. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature.

In a large pot, heat the broth to a simmer and add the cream cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

Add shrimp and other seafood, gently folding into the broth for 5-7 minutes until cooked.

Sprinkle in spices and cayenne pepper, stirring and simmering for another 2-3 minutes.

If too thin, simmer uncovered or add a cornstarch slurry until desired consistency is reached.

Ladle into bowls and serve with crusty bread or rice.
