How to Make Mad Dogs Southwestern Shrimp Bisque

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1-2 serrano chilies (finely minced, adjust to your spice preference), and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of half-and-half while continuously stirring. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer. Do not boil.
  6. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp. Cook until the shrimp is pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately, garnishing each bowl with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro.
