A Little History
Bisque originated in French coastal cuisine, traditionally made with shellfish and slowly simmered to extract maximum flavor. Over time, it became known for its smooth texture, creamy base, and deep seafood essence. Today, crab and shrimp bisque is a beloved classic, especially in American coastal kitchens where fresh seafood shines.
Formation of the Recipe
This recipe was formed around layering flavors:
Aromatic vegetables for depth
Seafood stock for richness
Cream for silkiness
Crab and shrimp added gently to stay tender
The result is a bisque that’s bold, balanced, and irresistibly smooth.
Ingredients
For the Bisque
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup onion, finely chopped
¼ cup celery, finely chopped
¼ cup carrot, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups seafood stock (or chicken stock)
1 cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8 oz cooked shrimp, chopped
8 oz lump crab meat
1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional, for depth)
Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Methods (Cooking Style)
This bisque uses a sauté–simmer–cream method, allowing flavors to build gradually while maintaining a silky, luxurious texture.
Instructions
Step 1: Build the Flavor Base
Heat olive oil and butter in a pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot. Cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Thicken the Bisque
Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir well. Cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste (if using), paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Simmer
Slowly pour in seafood stock while stirring. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 4: Make It Creamy
Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream until smooth and silky.
Step 5: Add the Seafood
Gently fold in shrimp and crab. Simmer 3–5 minutes — do not boil.
