I made this tonight and it turned out phenomenal! I absolutely love this recipe. It is relatively simple compared to other shrimp bisque recipes I have seen and so tasty. I bought an extra half pould of shrimp to reserve for presentation. After I added the shrimp to the food processor, I cooked the reserved shrimp in the same pan (before you make the roux and set them aside to place whole on top of the soup when served. The dish is relatively affordable, the biggest expense being the shrimp, but it is also very impressive. The cognac and sherry can add to the cost if you don't have them, but once you buy them, they last a long time and you can make several other dishes with them. Because of the cost of the cognac, I just bought a little bottle that is about enough for two recipes of the bisque. Definitely worth the effort, and it wasn't even that hard. I made it while watching my 2 1/2 year old and 2 month old son....so it can't be that difficult! Enjoy, and thanks for ANOTHER great recipe, Ina!

This was an amazingly easy soup to construct and, the flavor was superb. I tweeked it a bit, adding a mirapoix first (substitute onion for leeksand hand chopped the cooked shrimp meat mixture instead of using a food processor (why dirty another bowl? Don't sacrafice flavor for less calories---use 1/2 and 1/2. Next time I will add some rough chopped cooked lobster meat to each soup bowl. Yum! Oh, I also grilled up sliced french bread, dipped in olive oil and threw a pinch of sea salt on top before serving. Tasty.

This came together very easy once the shrimp were peeled! It was delicious. My family, including kids, loved it. I will make again and again.

I like to make a traditional bisque which takes a lot of time and more ingredients, but it is nice to have a great short cut for nights when I just want to throw something together. This is a great recipe for just that - thanks Ina!

Saw Ina's show for this recipe and decided to try it. For someone who has never made a bisque before this recipe was easy to follow and the taste was extraordinary good.

I watched the show this morning and decided to try it since I had shrimp in the freezer. It was pretty simple to make and tastes wonderful! I couldn't find fish stock so I used "lobster boullion" instead and still simmered the shrimp shells in it. I'll be making this again at at girls day very soon!
