1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb crab meat
2 cups fish stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
to taste salt and black pepper
1/4 cup white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until tender and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden without letting it burn.
- Slowly whisk in the fish stock, ensuring no lumps form. The mixture should start to thicken in about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the half-and-half and heavy cream, mixing until well combined and smooth.
- Add the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend the spices with the creamy mixture.
- Add the shrimp and crab meat, continuing to cook until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, approximately 5 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, allowing the flavors to meld by cooking for another 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving to enhance the bisque’s aroma and flavor.
