Notes
- Besides French bread, there are tons of side dishes that pair well with any shrimp recipe. So take a look and tell me what you think!
- Save the bacon grease and add the butter to it to cook the bacon in. The bacon grease adds more flavor to the dish.
- Be sure to cook the potatoes till fork tender before adding the shrimp. The shrimp will cook quickly and you don’t want it to overcook or it will get rubbery.
- Serve this soup with a loaf of French bread.
