• 225g unsalted butter
• 1 bunch green onions (white and green parts), finely chopped

• 1-liter heavy cream
• 1-liter half-and-half

How To Make Seafood Bisque Recipe?

1. Melt Butter and Sauté Onions: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped green onions and sauté until softened.
2. Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the butter and onions mixture. Stir until the flour is fully incorporated and smooth.
3. Add Liquids and Spices: Gradually add the heavy cream, half and half, and creamed corn to the pot. Then, stir in the Tony’s Cajun seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 40 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure the ingredients blend well and thicken.
5. Add Seafood: Gently stir in the crawfish, shrimp, and crab meat. Continue to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until the seafood is fully cooked.
6. Serve: Serve the bisque hot with a glass of white wine and a loaf of sourdough bread for dipping.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Seafood: Fresh shrimp, crab, and crawfish taste better than frozen.
• Simmer: Let the bisque cook for 40 minutes to make it rich and thick.
• Adjust the Spices: Add more cayenne or Cajun seasoning if you like it spicier.
• Blend for Smoothness: For a smoother bisque, use an immersion blender before adding the seafood.
• Don’t Overcook the Seafood: Add the seafood last and cook it just until done to keep it tender.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the bisque cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Keep it in an airtight container and store it for 2-3 days.
• Freeze: Cool the bisque fully before freezing. Store it in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Reheat the bisque on low heat in a pot, stirring occasionally, until hot.
