Shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with salt and pepper.
In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add shrimp in a single layer and sear 1–2 minutes per side, just until lightly browned and cooked through.
Remove shrimp and set aside.
Soup
In the same Dutch oven over medium heat, add olive oil. Then, add onion and jalapeño. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
Stir in the chipotle adobo sauce, coriander, cumin, salt, corn, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Mix well.
Bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in instant rice, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered, until rice is tender.
Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream until fully combined and the soup is creamy.
Gently fold in the cooked shrimp and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes to warm through.
Serve garnished with chopped fresh cilantro.
