Creamy Seafood Bisque image

This deceptively simple bisque makes a special first course or even a casual meal with a salad or bread. I like to top bowlfuls with shredded Parmesan cheese and green onions. -Wanda Allende, Orlando, Florida

This recipe is a keeper! The bisque was creamy and flavorful, and the seafood was cooked perfectly. I served it with some crusty bread and a salad, and it was a perfect meal.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The bisque was bland and the seafood was overcooked. I won't be making this again.

The bisque was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I might try it again with less salt next time.

This creamy seafood bisque was an absolute delight! The flavors of the shrimp, lobster, and crab blended perfectly together, and the creamy sauce was rich and decadent. I served it with some crusty bread to soak up all the deliciousness. Will definit
