Shrimp Bisque

I've been searching for the perfect sauce to go with my salmon cakes, which are already perfect. Last night I tried this remoulade sauce:

1 c. French dressing

1 c. Creole mustard

2 tbsp. paprika

1 tbsp. horseradish

1 tbsp. grated or minced onion

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp. celery salt

Juice of one lemon

And it looked like this:

I used to make a cucumber-dill sauce. It was ok. The above remoulade is MUCH better. But it's just not perfect. [Any suggestions?!?!] I think I will leave out the lemon next time. And cut down on both the French dressing and Creole mustard to 1/2 a cup each. But if you're serving seafood this weekend, you should try it! Cocktail shrimp are YUMMY dipped in this. Cocktail sauce is just too boring. [It's base is Ketchup, what'd expect!]

And since several people asked for it..... here is my Drewa's FAMOUS shrimp soup recipe. Ya'll.... I can seriously eat/drink/inhale this stuff until I make my self sick. It's THAT good. It might even be better than the World's Most Bestest Tomato Soup Ever...gasp!

Ingredients:
1 or 2 cups of diced shrimp [keep a couple whole to garnish with] I say 1 or 2 cups depending on how m shrimp you like. I like 1 heaping cup. One time I did 2 cups and believe it or not it was TOO MUCH shrimp.
2 cans of Campbell's Cream of Shrimp Soup
1 small container of half & half
1/2 bottle of cooking Sherry
2 tbsp of Butter

If you have fresh Gulf shrimp that you're husband caught in the Gulf [thank you Kent!], shell em and de-vein. Then drop in boiling water for 2 to 4 minutes, or until it looks like this:

You do NOT want to over cook shrimp. It gets rubbery. Yuck.

Or you can go to Wal-Mart and buy a bag of pre-cooked shrimp and de-thaw.

Chop up the shrimp in little pieces.

Secret ingredient.

Put all the ingredients in a pot. Let it boil and then simmer a while. Taste it. If you think it's a lil bland, pour some more sherry in. I end up using about half a bottle of it! [or 6ish oz]

It should look like this when you're done. All the small pieces of shrimp are hiding on the bottom of the bowl!

Yum. Yum. Yum.
