Spicy Shrimp Bisque

Not the most authentic shrimp bisque ever made, but it turned out to be quite tasty.  I may have gotten a bit over-exhuberant with the red pepper flakes (the 2.5 tbsp listed below is a guess of what I actually dumped in).  The batch I made was quite spicy, but very flavorful as well.

Ingredients:


2 tbsp butter
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp flour
1 cup milk
1 cup fish stock
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2.5 tbsp red pepper flakes
½ cup ketchup
1.5 – 2 lb salad shrimp

Directions:

1. Melt butter in saucepan.

2. Add flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and stir to combine and brown.

3. Add milk and fish stock and stir to combine. Heat until thickened.

4. Add worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and pepper flakes and stir

5. Add shrimp and simmer until desired temperature and thickness.
