Butternut Shrimp Bisque Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper on a baking sheet; spread in a single layer. Roast until tender and browned, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leek, carrots, garlic, marjoram, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the roasted squash, chicken broth and 2 cups water; bring to a simmer. Cook until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes. Discard the marjoram sprigs and bay leaf. Puree the soup in the pot using an immersion blender until smooth (or puree in a regular blender in batches).
• Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pan, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the browned butter to the soup and puree again; reserve the skillet. Gently reheat the soup over medium-low heat; thin with water if necessary. Season with salt and cayenne.
• Wipe out the reserved skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and set over high heat. Lightly season the shrimp with salt and add to the skillet. Cook, turning once, until the shrimp are browned around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Add the almonds to the skillet and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 1 minute. Serve the soup in small cups or bowls. Top with the shrimp, almonds and chives.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a pot over medium-low heat. Add onions and a large pinch of salt. Cook and stir until onions have softened but not taken on any color, about 10 or 15 minutes.
• Cut off ends of squash. Carefully cut squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Peel the squash with a vegetable peeler. Cut into chunks.
• Raise heat under pot to medium-high. Stir in tomato paste; cook and stir until mixture begins to caramelize and turn brown, about 2 minutes. Add squash, chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until squash is very tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Blend with an immersion blender until very smooth. Stir in cream and maple syrup; add more salt if needed.
• Ladle into serving bowls. Garnish with a swirl of cream, and a sprinkle of chives and pomegranate seeds.

Heat the butter in a heavy-duty saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until the onions become soft and clear, 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the butternut squash. Cook this mixture, stirring occasionally, until the squash begins to soften, 6-8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the shrimp, salt, cayenne, and white pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink, 2-3 minutes. Add the shrimp stock and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes. If the mixture begins to stick to the pan, scrape it with a spoon and continue cooking. This will intensify the flavor of the bisque. Remove bay leaf and discard. Transfer the squash/shrimp mixture to a food processor and puree. Return the puree to a saucepan and add the cream. Whisk until thoroughly blended. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Steps:

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute carrots, celery, leeks and jalapeno in butter for 10 minutes. Add the squash, broth and ginger; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until squash is tender, about 25 minutes. , Cool until lukewarm. In a blender or food processor, puree squash mixture in small batches until smooth; return to pan., Add cream, salt and pepper; mix well. Heat through but do not boil. Garnish with pecans.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peal, de-seed, and dice the butternut squash. In a large bowl (or the soup pot you intend to use later) toss the butternut cubes with the next 7 ingredients (through tarragon). Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for around 30 minutes or until cubes are tender but not toasted on the edges.
• While the squash is baking, peal and devein your shrimp. Pat dry, and toss with salt, cayenne, and garlic-infused oil. (You can add a little Italian seasoning here if you like but it is not necessary.) Set aside.
• When the squash is nearly done cooking, dice the carrots, and then begin to gently saute them in a large soup pot with some olive oil. Add the sage, basil, and tarragon. Do not burn the herbs. Add the now done squash and stir to combine. The squash should begin to break down.
• Pour in the sherry to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Then add the broth and coconut milk. Stir to combine. Add the brown sugar and salt to taste, then simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
• While your soup is simmering, place your shrimp on the now empty sheet pan, and roast the shrimp for about 5 or 10 minutes, or until they turn pink. Do not over-cook the shrimp.
• When the shrimp is done, Toss in the spinach and green onion at the last minute, and stir to wilt. (Don't add the shrimp to the pot. Add them to each person's bowl. That way leftovers can be heated up without overcooking the shrimp. You can heat the shrimp separately.).
• NOTE: For AIP, leave off the pepper or substitute a little horseradish on the shrimp. For FODMAP, be aware that butternut is a warning food, and should be eaten sparingly. 1/4 cup of butternut is safe to eat, but as it is "thinned out" with broth and coconut milk in this recipe, you should be safe to eat a cup of soup without difficulty. I have not done the math, so you will have to judge for yourself.
