Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Now add the raw shrimp, cover and simmer until shrimp are cooked, about 5 minute (you may wish to set aside 8 shrimp for garnish). Using a blender stick (or a blender, or a food processor) carefully purée soup with all the shrimp until soup is smooth. Return it to the original pot. Now blend in the can of tomato paste and the cayenne pepper. Gradually whisk in half and half. Bring soup to a simmer: do NOT allow it to come to a boil. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your bisque the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Sauté the shrimp: Sautéing the shrimp before adding them to the bisque will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from becoming tough.
- 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. You can make your own seafood stock or use a store-bought stock.
- Don't overcook the bisque: The bisque should be cooked until the shrimp are cooked through, but be careful not to overcook it, or the shrimp will become tough.
- Serve the bisque hot: Shrimp bisque is best served hot, so be sure to serve it as soon as it's finished cooking.
- Garnish the bisque: You can garnish the bisque with a variety of toppings, such as chopped parsley, chives, or a dollop of sour cream.
