Comments on: Pumpkin and Shrimp Bisque https://www.closetcooking.com/pumpkin-and-shrimp-bisque/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen. Tue, 12 Oct 2021 00:24:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: Lori Scott https://www.closetcooking.com/pumpkin-and-shrimp-bisque/#comment-95696 Tue, 12 Oct 2021 00:24:18 +0000 https://www.closetcooking.com/2010/11/09/pumpkin-and-shrimp-bisque/#comment-95696 Years ago I found this recipe and delivered it to my Thanksgiving table as a first course, though it deserves to be the star attraction. My husband said it was the best soup I’ve ever made and there was not one drop left. Everyone was begging for the recipe. I had fallen in love with a tureen and bought it just for this special bisque. Every year when I pull the special tureen and matching cups out, everyone knows what’s in store for the meal! Though this dish has several steps, it is so worth it, rich, beautifully put together, colorful and the mixing of all the flavors and spices, a true delight.

I did make some changes based on the fact I only had raw, already peeled, very large shrimp. I sautéed the raw veggies separately and then added the wine and reduced. Then I stick-blended them until smooth, keeping the veggies. I used clam base from Better Than Bouillon along with 4 cups water and 1 quart of chicken broth. I kept the shrimp out and decided to half them lengthwise and broil with some olive oil and a touch of Cajun seasonings to bump the shrimpiness. The amount of sage was way way too prominent so I fished the big sprig out and added back 3 large leaves. I guess my garden sage is just too potent ! The saffron is Key so don’t leave that out ! The gremolata just gilds this lily !
Very well received ! Another winner, Kevin !

I made this (doubled) last night for a group dinner. Since I didn’t have shell on shrimp and the shrimp were quite large I halved them lengthwise and broiled them with oil and spices. I added this to the finished soup at the end along with the pan juices to bump up the shrimp flavor. Since I didn’t have the shells for stock I used half clam base (with water added) and chicken stock. I sautéed the raw veggies and added the wine and reduced. I only added 3 large sage leaves as my garden sage is very strong. (Actually I put in one sprig and when the fragrance went up my nose I fished it out right away). After simmering for 45 minutes I fished out the bay and sage leaves then stick-blended until very smooth. I added the pumpkin and cream and then the broiled shrimp. It was terrific! Hopefully people won’t omit the saffron if they can manage it because that really makes it, in my opinion. The Gremolata was a nice addition as well as a beautiful garnish atop the shrimp in the middle. Thanks for another winner !

I was a little unsure about the gremolata, but it fit in perfectly! The only change that I made was to add the shrimp at the same time as the pumpkin and cream and let them cook in the soup.
