Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 large red bell peppers
3 1/2 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese
Hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
16 large uncooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • Char red bell peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag. Let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers. Cut 1 pepper into matchstick-size strips and set aside. Coarsely chop remaining 4 peppers. Combine chopped peppers and stock in heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until peppers are very tender, about 5 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender until smooth. Return puree to saucepan. Mix in paprika and sugar. Simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover bell pepper strips and soup separately and refrigerate.) Whisk in cream and pecorino Romano cheese. Season to taste with hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add reserved bell pepper strips and shrimp and sauté until shrimp are cooked through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide shrimp mixture among 4 bowls.
  • Rewarm soup; ladle around shrimp mixture. Sprinkle basil over and serve.

Not a fan of this bisque. The flavor was just okay and the texture was a bit grainy.

This bisque was a disaster! The roasted red peppers were burnt and the soup was way too thick. I had to throw it all away.

Overall, this bisque was pretty good. I thought the flavor was a bit bland, but my kids loved it. I might try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

This bisque was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This bisque was easy to make and turned out great! I used frozen shrimp and it still tasted amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
