Classic seafood bisque is luxuriously creamy, made by blending seafood shells (typically lobster) directly into the soup for added body and a silky texture. This garlicky shrimp scampi version embraces the same technique, extracting as much precious seafood flavor as possible from more economical, yet equally delicious, shrimp shells. The result is a robust dish that captures the essence of a bright and buttery Italian American staple, perfect for dinner parties.
Straining the soup after blending catches any lingering pieces of shells so the final texture is completely smooth and creamy.
