TIP: Shrimp bisque is rich, so serve it in smaller bowls, a little goes a long way. Though the term "bisque" can now often refer to any type of creamy soup, the original and authentic bisque contains broth and seafood. This is the most budget-friendly authentic bisque I've been able to make, since it contains shrimp, which is often easy to find and inexpensive (even wild caught). I had a shrimp boil this weekend with leftover shrimp I just made your recipe and it was top notch. One of the best seafood soups or bisques I've had.
