    I just finished making this for dinner tonight we are having it with home made dinner rolls using recipe# 202552 by kittencal ( I have made them seveal times and they melt in your mouth!) I really like the Bisque I put it in my crock pot to keep it warm for dinner cause we all have crazy schedules ( that way everyone can eat when they get home and it will be hot) It turned out so thick and creamy! It will def hit the spot on this cold day. I think it was even better after simmering in the crock pot on just keep warm for a few hours it seemed to really bring out the shrimp flavor. Thanks so much for this recipe I will be making it again!!!

    After researching all 49 nrecipes on 'Zaar for a shrimp bisque i decided on this one. I was disappointed......there was not much shrimp flavor even though I sauteed the shrimp shells in the butter before adding the veggies as most bisque recipes suggest. I even used more shrimp than needed and kept some whole to add to the soup. I may try again but will have to modify this to creat more flavor.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
