How long does Shrimp Bisque last?
Shrimp bisque, a creamy soup made with shrimp, aromatics, and often cream or stock, can last for varying durations based on storage:
- Refrigeration (Leftovers): Leftover shrimp bisque can be refrigerated for about 3 to 4 days if stored properly in an airtight container. However, soups containing dairy (like cream) might have a shorter shelf life and can spoil more quickly.
- Freezing: Shrimp bisque can be frozen for longer storage. When properly stored in a freezer-safe container or bag, it can last for about 2 to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
Always reheat shrimp bisque thoroughly before consuming. Check for any signs of spoilage, such as an off odor, changes in texture, or mold formation, before consuming stored bisque. If it appears or smells off, it’s safer to discard it to avoid the risk of foodborne illness.
