• NOTE #1: Altho not part of the recipe, I see the ideal bisque as mostly free of food solids except for the starring seafood, so I will prob opt to lightly puree the soup when removed from the heat in Step #4. Additionally, I see this soup garnished w/freshly snipped chives + 2-3 whole baby shrimp to add color & a finishing touch.
