Add half and half to soup and cook another 5 minutes.
When soup is done, Season to taste with Creole seasoning and garlic powder. Add chopped shrimp and cook for another 5-6 minutes.

On individuals plates, place 2 biscuits. Arrange 2 shrimps on top of each biscuit in a Heart shape, fill the well created by the shrimps with soup mixture. puddling more around each biscuit.
