Instructions:

  1. Begin by melting 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Add the green pepper, onions, scallion, parsley, and mushrooms. Sauté until all vegetables are soft, approximately 5 minutes.

  2. In another large saucepan, melt the remaining butter.

  3. Add flour to the melted butter and stir well to create a smooth mixture.

  4. Gradually add milk, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and thick.

  5. Incorporate salt, white pepper, and the sautéed vegetable mixture from the skillet into the saucepan. Add half-and-half, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

  6. Reduce the heat and continue stirring to ensure a uniform consistency.

  7. Now, add the star of the dish – the fresh crabmeat. Allow it to simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

  8. Just before serving, introduce the dry sherry into the mix. Give it a good stir to elevate the flavors.

  9. Pro tip: For a delightful variation, feel free to substitute crabmeat with lobster, using the same measurements. If you’re in the mood for shrimp bisque, replace the crabmeat with 2 cups of small shrimp. Top it off with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese or freshly chopped chives for an extra layer of flavor.

  10. Serve your Crab Bisque hot, garnished with your preferred toppings or accompaniments.

There you have it – a scrumptious Crab Bisque that brings the taste of the ocean to your table in just over half an hour! 🌊🍲 Whether you’re a seafood enthusiast or looking to impress your guests, this recipe is a winner. Enjoy the rich, creamy goodness with every spoonful, and savor the delightful combination of flavors. Happy cooking! 🦐🔥
