Ingredients:

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 lb crab meat

1/2 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped

3 tablespoons butter

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 celery stalk, diced

1 carrot, diced

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups seafood broth or fish stock

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)

1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions:

Cook the shrimp: In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the pot and set aside.

Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of butter, diced onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Make the roux: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir, cooking for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Slowly whisk in the seafood broth, making sure there are no lumps.

Add the cream and wine: Stir in the heavy cream, white wine (if using), Old Bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add the seafood: Gently fold in the crab meat, lobster, and cooked shrimp. Let the bisque simmer for another 5 minutes to heat the seafood through and allow the flavors to meld.

Serve: Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges for a bright, citrusy touch. Enjoy this indulgent seafood bisque!
