法式龍蝦湯聽就聽得多，不過又有幾多人真係會咁大投資買隻龍蝦返黎煲湯？其實係街市平平地買份中蝦，用類似既煮法，都可以煮出蝦既鮮甜味，中蝦濃湯同龍蝦湯比，幾可亂真架。

We all heard about French lobster bisque but for home cooking, how many of us would really spend a fortune to buy lobsters for making the bisque?Actually we can use the affordable middle prawns as alternative to make a prawn bisque and it tastes alike the high end lobster bisque!

材料：中蝦10幾隻、蕃茄、甘荀、洋蔥、唐芹同番茜
Ingredients: 10+ medium prawns, tomato, carrot, onion, Chinese celery and parsley

先將中蝦剝殼

開火落油，洋蔥落鑊細火煎至半透明

配料炒香後撈起
Set the stir-fried ingredients in bowl

煎香蝦殼

放適量茄汁調味

放埋一齊之後，加500ml魚湯，中火滾起後轉細火煲一個鐘
After putting all ingredients together, pour 500ml of fish stock. Switch on middle heat until boiled and then turn to low heat to simmer for an hour

依個時候落牛油煎香蝦肉

煲好湯底後，將所有配料撈出
After an hour, take out all ingredients

依個時候色水已經好似樣，但佢仲係好稀的

最後放埋d蝦落湯，返滾起加鹽調味就得喇

Lastly, add the fried prawns back to the soup. Boil it and season it with salt
