INGREDIENT NOTES:
SHRIMP AND CARB MEAT:
- Use the shrimp and crabmeat to prepare this seafood bisque. Crab provides the slight sweet taste, and shrimp adds the sharpness. Use the fresh crab or water-canned crab to prevent the excess sugar content.
ONION, GARLIC & CELERY:
- Add the celery, garlic, and onions to this recipe. Onions provide the indulgent flavor, garlic provides the savory taste, and celery provides the crunch.
BUTTER:
- Butter provides the indulgent taste and smooth texture. Use the grass-fed butter to make it healthier. It also boosts the fat content in the dish.
CAYENNE AND SMOKED PAPRIKA:
- Cayenne pepper and paprika provide the smoky flavor and spice in the dish. This will make it more flavorful without the carbs.

TIPS:
- Don’t cook the shrimp for a long time as the textre will become rubbery.
- Blend half a quantity of soup to make a smooth consistency, and it also makes it thicker.
