This bisque was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter broth.

I made this bisque for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but this bisque was surprisingly good! The shrimp were tender and flavorful, and the corn added a nice sweetness. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone, even if they're not a fan of seafood.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bisque turned out bland and watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I was a bit disappointed with this bisque. The broth was thin and lacked flavor, and the shrimp were overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Easy to make and delicious! I used frozen corn and shrimp, and it still turned out great. I served it with a side of crusty bread for dipping, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold night.

This shrimp corn bisque was a hit with my family! It was creamy, flavorful, and packed with shrimp and corn. I added a little extra cayenne pepper for a bit of spice, and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again!
