Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
4 stalks of green onion, chopped
3 stalks of celery, chopped
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon tomato paste
1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
16 oz can precooked crab meat
16 oz small, precooked shrimp, peeled, de-veined, and tails off (substitute with your own cooked shrimp!)
3 tablespoon sherry wine
Optional: garnish with thinly chopped cilantro, green onions and/or parsley.
Let's begin the adventure:
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add green onion and celery and saute until tender.
In the meantime, warm the milk in another saucepan over medium heat.
Add in flour and stir until a consistent texture, then keep stirring for 2 minutes.
Slowly stir the warmed milk into the first saucepan and stir until thickened.
Stir in the black pepper, tomato paste, and heavy cream.
Optional: Puree the soup in a blender or food processor and then return it to the saucepan. This will distribute evenly the celery and green onion all around.
Stir in the crab, shrimp, and the sherry wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
Serve hot and add Vatsana's Seafood Hot Sauce until desired spice level.
Optional: garnish with thinly chopped cilantro, green onions and/or parsley.
Voila! Eat your crab and shrimp bisque with Vatsana's Seafood Hot Sauce and don't forget to Spread Joy!
