Preparation

Step 1

In saucepan, heat olive oil. Add red pepper and onion; saute on low heat until soft, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp, half and half, tomato sauce, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add butter.

Put 1/2 hot mixture in a blender and carefully process at high speed for about 10 to 15 seconds, or until no large pieces remain. Transfer bisque into soup bowls. Sprinkle on Parmesan cheese. Repeat with remaining mixture.
