Seafood Bisque
½ stick of butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups seafood or fish stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1-2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1/2 lb. raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped (save the shells to make shrimp stock)
1 lb. crab meat
½ cup dry, white wine
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cheesecloth


In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes to form a light roux, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Gradually whisk in the seafood or fish stock, making sure to smooth out any lumps. Place shrimp shells in cheesecloth and place in liquid for 7 minutes. Remove.
Stir in the heavy cream, wine the Old Bay seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the chopped shrimp and crab meat to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and the bisque is heated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
