In other areas, they may require a serious search or an online order. If you don\u2019t have the patience for that, feel free to use any other crustacean. An equal quantity of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-shrimp\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/types-of-shrimp\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">medium or large shrimp<\/a> is the easy option, but crab meat, lobster meat and even inexpensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/imitation-crab\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/imitation-crab\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">imitation crab<\/a> all taste good in this soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Save time on the broth:<\/strong> Once the aromatic vegetables are softened, you can cut down your \u201ctime to table\u201d by skipping the flour step. Instead, add a cream soup of your choice (cream of celery might be best, but cream of mushroom also works) and thin it with seafood broth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a splash of alcohol:<\/strong> At the beginning of the recipe, when you\u2019re softening the aromatic vegetables, you could add flavor with wine or another alcohol. Don\u2019t be intimidated about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-with-wine-according-to-the-experts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-with-wine-according-to-the-experts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cooking with wine<\/a>, it\u2019s not as complicated as it sometimes seems. A splash of any dry white table wine will do just fine in this recipe, including the one you didn\u2019t finish last night. Alternatively, you could add a tablespoon or two of brandy. Better yet, pick up an inexpensive bottle of dry sherry and use that. It goe well with crawfish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cream-of-crab-soup\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cream-of-crab-soup\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">or crab<\/a>\u00a0and adds depth of flavor to any cream soup. Just be aware that the alcohol doesn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cooking-with-alcohol\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cooking-with-alcohol\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cook off<\/a>, so skip it if you\u2019ll be serving anyone who avoids booze.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Cajun Crawfish Bisque<\/h2>\n<p>Any leftover crawfish bisque should be transferred as soon as possible to shallow containers, then cooled rapidly, covered and refrigerated.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does this corn and crawfish bisque keep?<\/h3>\n<p>Leftover crawfish bisque will keep for three to four days in your fridge, provided you cooled and refrigerated it immediately after the meal. Shellfish are highly perishable, so if your leftovers sit at room temperature for a while it\u2019s prudent to cut that time in half. If it took more than two hours to refrigerate the soup (one hour at 90\u00b0F or higher), you should just discard it.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make the bisque ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make it up to a day ahead, if you expect to be pressed for time when mealtime rolls around. Cool it quickly, and get it into the fridge ASAP. Flat, shallow containers are best, because they\u2019ll cool more rapidly than larger, deeper containers.<\/p>\n<h2>Crawfish Bisque Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2062922\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Crawfish-Bisque_TOHD24_277487_ChristineMa_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"This crawfish bisque by Taste Recipes is rich and flavorful, but surprisingly easy.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use a gluten-free thickener instead?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can thicken the bisque with cornstarch, arrowroot, potato starch or other gluten-free thickener of your choice. If you go that route, don\u2019t stir your thickener into the aromatic vegetables. Instead, keep back \u00bd cup of cold seafood stock and use that to make a slurry with your chosen starch. These are more powerful thickeners than flour, so only use half as much. Stir the slurry into the soup after 12 to 15 minutes, because it will thicken the finished soup almost immediately.<\/p>\n<h3>What if I don\u2019t have sherry vinegar?<\/h3>\n<p>The vinegar brings a little splash of acidity to balance and brighten the broth. If you don\u2019t have sherry vinegar, any other mild, aromatic vinegar will work. Champagne vinegar is a good substitute, but cider vinegar or a mild, good-quality white wine vinegar are acceptable. Less obvious options include a squeeze of lemon, a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce or even \u00bc cup of buttermilk.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I serve with the bisque?<\/h3>\n<p>As a starter, it goes nicely with any Louisiana-themed meal, whether you\u2019re drawing from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/whats-the-difference-between-cajun-and-creole-food\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/whats-the-difference-between-cajun-and-creole-food\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Cajun or Creole<\/a> tradition or both. If you serve it as a light but flavorful lunch in its own right, all it needs is something simple such as a biscuit, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/pillow-soft-dinner-rolls\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/pillow-soft-dinner-rolls\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">soft roll<\/a> or a slice of bread and butter alongside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This crawfish bisque is rich and flavorful, but surprisingly easy.
