1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the chopped onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables, stirring constantly to form a roux. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
3. Gradually whisk in the seafood or chicken stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the white wine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
4. Stir in the heavy cream, followed by the crab meat and shrimp. Add the tomato paste and Old Bay seasoning, and let the bisque simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a smoother bisque, you can use an immersion blender to puree it to your desired consistency.
6. Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Variations & Tips
For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream. If you enjoy a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce. You can also experiment with different seafood like lobster or scallops for a unique twist. For an extra layer of flavor, consider roasting the shrimp shells and crab bodies to make a richer homemade seafood stock.
