Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was my first attempt at any type of seafood stew, soup, or bisque. I have to say i will be making it again for sure. It... was easy and inexpensive to make. Once it was done it was not 20 minutes and it was gone. All the roomates and my buddies loved it (I'm a dorm room chef at college). I did make minor alterations to the recipe. These included flour for thickening and old bay for a little extra kick of flavor. Top it off with a parsley or celery garnish and you have a meal fit for kings.Read more

Yum Yum!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Cooking for my chef husband can be intimidating but recipes like this make me proud to cook for him!!! I made the recipe as... is and it was great. The only thing it needed was salt which each person should add to there own bowls. Do that to avoid over salting. Thanks Paula!Read more
