Could anyone help me with an easy tasty lobster bisque???
About two cups of cooked shrimp (or lump crab) would correspond to the lobster. I would use medium (16-21 count) shrimp in bisque.Chopstix said:Sounds yummy ChefJune! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Lobster is too expensive for me. How much crab or shrimp can I substitute in this recipe? TIA!
