Shrimp Bisque Recipe

Instructions for Shrimp Bisque

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Tomato Paste

   Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced by half.

4. 4

   Add Stock and Shrimp

   Add the fish stock (or seafood broth), bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the shrimp and cook until just opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

5. 5

   Blend the Soup

   Remove the bay leaves and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer to a blender in batches.

6. 6

   Stir in Cream

   Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the heavy cream, and heat through on low heat. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
