1
Chop the vegetables
Finely chop the shallots and green onions, keeping the white and green parts of the green onions separate.

2
Sauté the shallots
In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3
Add sherry and simmer
Pour in the sherry wine and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce for about 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
4
Add crab and cream
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the lump crab meat and heavy cream. Stir gently to combine.
5
Season the bisque
Add the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Allow the bisque to simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6
Finish with green onions
Just before serving, stir in the white parts of the green onions. Reserve the green parts for garnish.

7
Serve the bisque
Ladle the she crab bisque into bowls and garnish with the reserved green parts of the green onions. Serve hot.
