Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base Ingredients

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Flour

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to combine, cooking for another 2 minutes to form a roux.

  3. 3

    Pour in the Stock

    Gradually pour in the seafood stock while whisking to avoid lumps. Add the bay leaves and Cajun seasoning, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add Cream and Simmer

    Once simmering, stir in the heavy cream. Allow the bisque to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cooking the Protein

  1. 5

    Cook the Sausage

    In a separate pan, cook the sliced Andouille sausage over medium heat until browned. Transfer to the pot with the bisque.

  2. 6

    Add Shrimp and Tomatoes

    In the same pot, add the shrimp and diced tomatoes. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  3. 7

    Season to Taste

    Taste the bisque and season with salt and black pepper as desired. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve
