Shellfish Shells: For a richer flavor, you can simmer the shrimp shells in the broth for about 30 minutes before adding the other ingredients. Strain the broth before using.
Spice Level: Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference, or omit it entirely if you don’t want any heat.
Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like leeks or fennel for a different flavor profile.
Make Ahead: The bisque can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add the seafood and cream just before serving.
Freezing: It’s not recommended to freeze the bisque after the cream has been added, as it may change the texture. However, you can freeze the bisque before adding the cream and seafood. Thaw completely before reheating, then add the seafood and cream.
Enjoy your delicious Creamy Crab and Shrimp Seafood Bisque!
