Mexican Shrimp Bisque

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 3 servings.
I enjoy both Cajun and Mexican cuisines, and this rich, elegant soup combines the best of both. I serve it with a crispy green salad and a glass of white wine for a simple but very special meal. —Karen Harris, Littleton, Colorado
