Ingredients

For 4 servings, you’ll need:

Seafood:

• 200g fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 150g crab meat (lump or claw meat works best)

Vegetables and aromatics:

• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small carrot, finely diced
• 1 celery stalk, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

Liquids & base:

• 4 cups seafood stock (or fish stock)
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional but adds depth)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasoning & herbs:

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 bay leaf
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon wedges (optional)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the seafood

1. Rinse the shrimp and crab meat under cold water. Pat dry.
2. Chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces if large. Set aside.

Pro tip: Keep some small whole shrimp for garnish—they make the bisque look fancy!

Step 2: Sauté the aromatics

1. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
2. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened.
3. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add tomato paste, paprika, cayenne, and thyme. Stir to coat the vegetables and develop flavor (about 2 minutes).

Step 3: Deglaze and simmer

1. Pour in white wine, scraping up any bits from the pan. Let it reduce for 2–3 minutes.
2. Add seafood stock and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.
3. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes to let flavors meld.

Tip: Keep the heat gentle to avoid reducing too quickly.
