	Creamy and delicious, this lighter version of the classic bisque is high in protein and low in fat.   Directions In a saucepan, heat olive oil. Add red pepper and onions. Sauté on low heat until soft, approximately 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp, half and half, tomato sauce (or diced tomatoes), hot sauce, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add butter. Place 1/2 of the hot mixture into the blender and process at high speed for 10-15 seconds. Be sure to let the steam escape through the top. Transfer bisque to a soup bowl. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Optional garnishes: green onion, red pepper and additional shrimp.	2
