Want a super-simple recipe for dinner tonight? Or an impressive dish that will knock the socks off your houseguests who are arriving this weekend? Try Amy’s rich Shrimp Bisque recipe. You (and your fellow diners) will never miss the heavy cream part.

So you’ve eliminated cream and other dairy products from your diet and think you’ll never enjoy that rich, decadent texture again. Cashew cream to the rescue!
