This is originally from the Houston Chronicle's food section. I have used the fat-free half and half and light butter in this with good results.Use medium or large shrimp for this bisque.

I would not recommend this recipe. The bisque was bland and watery.

This bisque was way too salty. I had to add a lot of water to it to make it edible.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bisque turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bisque was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some extra spices to it.
