French/Italian cooking: Zesty shrimp bisque pasta

 When fall/winter comes around, I think about soup. The soup that makes your body warm and enjoy every sip of it.

 If you ask me what kinds of soup I love most, I would say it would be "Lobster bisque".

 Bisque is type of French soup that are often creamy,velvety texture and since it is made from strained broth using shell of lobster,crab,shrimp etc, the soup has full of flavor in one sip.

 One of the restaurant we love to go to has very rich,flavorful lobster bisque and I got hook with the soup,and every time I visit their restaurant, I always order them along with the main meal.

 The other day, I made a pasta dish based with the idea from Lobster bisque we like, and I made zesty shrimp bisque sauce and mixed with pasta and it came out real good so, I thought I would share the recipe with you.

 So, how do you make zesty shrimp bisque pasta? Here is how.
