Variations & Tips
For a different twist on this classic bisque, you can add a splash of sherry or brandy for a deeper, richer flavor. If you’re fond of spice, a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce will add a warm, zesty kick. To make it extra special, consider adding a handful of lump crab meat or scallops along with the shrimp for an added touch of luxury. And if you’re conscious of dietary restrictions, you can substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk for a lighter version without sacrificing creaminess.
