Love this recipe! It's so simple and delicious. I crave it often. Thank you so much for sharing! I use extra hot sauce, and sometimes vary the amount of shrimp depending on what I have on hand, but other than that I don't change anything. Thanks again!

I used fresh lump crabmeat and shrimp and doubled the recipe and it was excellent. I will prepare again for my family and friends. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Gloria Chapman

I had some fresh dungeness crab to use up, so I made this bisque. I added extra hot sauce and 2 cups of crab (no shrimp), and it was great! Whenever I can get fresh crab, I will be making this again. Thank you, Nurse Di.
