Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Stone Crab Claws

    If using raw stone crab claws, steam them for about 10 minutes until cooked through. If using pre-cooked claws, simply crack them open and set aside the meat.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and garlic, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed shallots and garlic. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

  4. 4

    Add Fish Stock

    Gradually whisk in the fish stock, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Cream and Seasonings

    Stir in the heavy cream and tomato paste. Add cayenne pepper, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Add Stone Crab Meat

    Gently fold the stone crab meat into the bisque. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through, allowing the flavors to meld.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
