Shrimp bisque
Shrimp bisque is a luxurious and creamy soup that embodies the rich flavors of the sea, making it a beloved dish in coastal cuisines. This delicate soup is typically crafted from a base of fresh shrimp, which are sautéed with aromatic vegetables like onions, celery, and carrots to create a flavorful foundation. The shrimp shells are often incorporated into the cooking process, simmered to extract their deep umami essence, and then strained out to yield a beautifully smooth broth.
