Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb lump crab meat
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups seafood or chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt & cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Toasted baguette slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and celery. Cook until softened.
  2. Sprinkle in flour, stirring constantly for 1–2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the stock and wine until smooth.
  3. Bring to a light simmer. Stir in heavy cream, Old Bay seasoning, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the shrimp and crab meat. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  5. Ladle into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with toasted baguette slices.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen seafood, but make sure it’s fully thawed before cooking.
  • For a smoother bisque, use an immersion blender before adding seafood.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to your heat preference.
  • Great as a starter or a hearty main course.
