NEW ORLEAN'S CORN AND CRAB BISQUE (OR SHRIMP)



New Orlean's Corn and Crab Bisque (or Shrimp) image

You will need to make corn stock AND shrimp stock. I suggest using shrimp since the stock will be used anyway. You may also add a little cornstarch dissolved in water at the end if you prefer this to be slightly thicker. Prep time includes time for stocks.

CRAB AND SHRIMP BISQUE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Crab and Shrimp Bisque Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Lsweetnell

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped fine onion
2 tablespoons chopped fine celery
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces backfin or lump crab meat
4 to 8 ounces small cooked shrimp or other seafood (if the shrimp are large chop into smaller pieces.
2 tablespoon sherry wine*

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-low heat; add the chopped onion and celery. Saute, stirring, until tender. Blend the flour into the butter and vegetables until well incorporated. Continue cooking, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Warm the milk in another saucepan over medium heat. Slowly stir in the warmed milk and continue cooking and stirring until thickened. Add the freshly ground black pepper, tomato paste, and heavy cream. If desired, puree the soup in a blender or food processor** at this point and then return it to the saucepan. Stir in the crab, shrimp, and the sherry. Bring to a simmer. Serve hot. *Sherry is a wine which is fortified with brandy. Dry sherry is a good choice for this recipe. After sherry is opened, it should be stored in the refrigerator. Tips and Variations Feel free to add small cooked bay scallops or lobster instead of the shrimp. If desired, garnish the soup with thinly sliced green onion tops, cilantro, or parsley. Or add a spoonful of sour cream and swirl it.

`

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp and crab meat. If using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Be sure to devein and clean the shrimp before cooking. This will remove any grit or sand that may be present.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp and crab. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the bisque. A dry Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc will work well.
  • Season the bisque to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. You can also add a pinch of Old Bay seasoning or paprika for extra flavor.
  • Serve the bisque immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
