Butternut & Shrimp Curry Bisque
The curry adds a bit of spiciness, but is tempered perfectly by the natural sweetness in the squash and shrimp.
The smaller you dice up the squash, the quicker it will become tender (and the sooner you can eat!).
You can use either evaporated milk (which will not curdle when long simmered) or canned coconut milk. Although if using coconut milk, be sure the simmering temperature is very low.
