shrimp bisque

Creamy shellfish potage

Shrimp bisque is a rich, creamy soup made from shrimp, typically thickened with the shells and flavored with aromatics, wine, and cream.

Like other bisques, it has a smooth, velvety texture achieved by straining or pureeing: We started with a cup of shrimp bisque.

It's a staple of French-influenced fine dining and upscale seafood restaurants.
