3 cups whole fresh corn, removed from cobs (save cobs and add them to seafood stock)
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
1 cup butter
1 cup white onion, diced
1 cup celery, diced
½ cup red bell pepper, diced
¼ cup garlic, minced

½ cup green onion, thinly sliced

CORN AND "SHE CRAB" BISQUE



Corn and

This is my take on Corn and Crab bisque but with the authentic "She Crab" Soup recipe which originated in Charleston, South Carolina. The star of this dish, besides the crab meat, is the crab roe, so don't leave it out. It's amazing! Crab roe can be saved from boiled female crabs and stored in the freezer until ready to use.

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 lb bacon, fried and crumbled, set aside
1 stick butter
1 bunch green onions or 1 large leek, sliced thin
4 stick celery, minced
1 small onion, diced or minced
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1/2 large bell pepper, chopped fine
8 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 Tbsp tomato paste
pinch oregano
4 c shrimp stock or chicken stock
4 oz cleaned crab roe, from boiled crabs, mashed with a fork
1/2 c sherry
1 Tbsp lea & perrin worcestershire sauce
4 c fresh or frozen creamed corn, (or 2 cans creamed corn)
2 c fresh or frozen whole kernel corn, (or 1 can whole corn, drained)
salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, sugar, cajun seasoning to taste
1 tsp liquid crab boil
1 lb special claw meat, picked through for shells
1/2 pt heavy cream
2 egg yolks, beaten
green onion tops, sliced thin for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Fry bacon, drain on paper towel and crumble, then set aside. Add butter to bacon grease, then add leeks or green onions, celery, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Saute until onions get translucent.
  • 2. Reduce heat to medium-low and as you begin to whisk in the flour, if you see that more fat is needed add a little more butter. Stir oftn to keep from burning and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, oregano and worcestershire; cook another 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • 3. Stir in shrimp and/or chicken stock (4 cups total), crab roe, 1/4 C sherry, salt & pepper, creamed corn, whole kernel corn and bring to a low boil and cook for 30 minutes.
  • 4. Reduce heat to low and add crab meat, remaining sherry, and cream. DON'T BOIL. Just before serving, temper the yolks with 2 cups of soup, whisking constantly to keep from cooking the yolks, then add yolks back to the soup. Stir well. Stir in green onion tops and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
  • 5. This bisque freezes well. *NOTE: Fresh cut corn makes this recipe even better. Use about 2 cups of fresh corn, with the milk from the cob. Hold the shucked corn over a bundt pan and just cut the corn from the cob. Go back over the cob with the dull side of the knife blade to get the extra milk. All of it will fall into the bundt pan for easy clean-up and transfer to your pot. Crawfish tails can be substituted for the crab meat.

SHRIMP, CORN & CRAB BISQUE



Shrimp, Corn & Crab Bisque image

One of the attorney's in our building makes this every year for the building Christmas party. Within an hour, the whole GIGANTIC batch that she makes is gone. She was nice enough to hand the recipe out this year and I'm posting so as NOT to lose it. It is THE BEST Shrimp, Corn & Crab Bisque that I have ever eaten. She brings it to the party in her crock pot to keep it warm. The added flavor comes from the shrimp stock so make sure you follow that direction closely.
