I asked my Facebook Cookies if they wanted a Jambalaya or Bisque recipe this week. Bisque won hands down! So, here it is!
Easier than you thought, right?? And it will taste even better the next day! I don’t use potatoes in this recipe. But, you can if you’d like. And please don’t use artificial crab! Do NOT do it!! You need real blue crab. You can find it at a seafood market or in the seafood section of the grocery store.
I like soup with some BODY. I don’t like thin, watery soups. So, the light roux makes all of the different. If you’re a seafood lover, you’ll love this bisque!
Love,
Shrimp, Crab, and Corn Bisque
