Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh crab meat
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups seafood stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the softened vegetables. Stir well to coat and cook for another 2 minutes. This will thicken the bisque.
  4. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Gradually pour in the seafood stock, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning; stir until well combined.
  5. Bring to a Simmer: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to cook for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. Add the Seafood: Gently fold in the crab meat and shrimp. Reduce the heat to low and let the bisque cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  7. Add Cream and Milk: Stir in the heavy cream and milk, mixing until combined. Allow the bisque to heat through but do not let it boil.
  8. Season to Taste: Adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper according to your preference.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, ladle into bowls, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
