Prawns / Shrimp. I have made this many times using only the shells and heads and thickening the soup with a little flour, this is especially great when you have shells and heads left over from using the prawns for another recipe. However, the prawn meat definitely adds more flavor and texture. Use raw, whole but deveined shrimp for the best results. Chicken / Fish stock. Aromatics: Bay leaf, garlic, lemon peel, peppercorns. Onion. Smoked paprika. Tomato paste. Sugar. Cream. Lemon juice. Salt and pepper. Parsley, to serve.
How to make prawn bisque
Can I make this ahead?
The shrimp bisque can be made a day in advance and kept covered in the fridge. Reheat in a saucepan set over medium-low heat, avoiding allowing the bisque to boil.
