Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 pounds shrimp, shelled and deveined, shells reserved
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 leeks, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and rinsed well
3 stalks celery, cut into big chunks
2 carrots, cut into big chunks
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 strips orange zest
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup brandy
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Finely grated orange zest, for garnish
Finely chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and melt the butter into it. Then add the shrimp shells, the leeks, celery, carrots, 3 sprigs thyme, the bay leaf, orange zest, and tomato paste. Cook, stirring every now and then, until the shells are red and the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Take the pot off the heat and carefully pour in the brandy. Ignite the brandy with a long kitchen match and let burn until the flame subsides. Return the pot to the heat, sprinkle in the flour, give it a stir, and cook for another 2 minutes. Now add water to cover and deglaze, scraping up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Immediately turn the heat down to low and gently simmer until the soup is reduced and thickened, 30 to 45 minutes. Strain into a clean pot and season with salt and pepper.
  • Chop the shrimp. Return the bisque to a simmer, add the shrimp and cook 2 to 3 minutes just to cook the shrimp through. Give the bisque a final taste for seasoning, pour it into warmed soup bowls and serve garnished with the orange zest and chives.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. Frozen shrimp can work in a pinch, but fresh shrimp will give your bisque a more delicate and flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables for a more flavorful bisque. The recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, corn, or zucchini.
  • Use a good quality seafood stock. The seafood stock is the base of the bisque, so it's important to use a good quality stock that is flavorful and well-seasoned.
  • Season the bisque to taste. The recipe calls for salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, but you can adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve the bisque immediately with your favorite toppings. The bisque is best served hot with a variety of toppings like croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, or chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Shrimp bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and flavorful bisque that the whole family will enjoy.
