This is not a good recipe. The soup was bland and the shrimp were tough.

This soup is a waste of time. It's not creamy at all and the shrimp are overcooked.

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out way too salty. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was a bit too creamy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less heavy cream.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I loved this soup! The shrimp and cream really balanced out the flavor of the asparagus.

This asparagus soup with shrimp was a delightful dish. The asparagus was tender and flavorful, and the shrimp added a nice briny flavor. The soup was also very creamy and rich, thanks to the addition of heavy cream. I would definitely recommend this
