Seafood Soup

Method

Seafood Soup

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Stock

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the fish stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Seafood and Cream

    Stir in the mixed seafood, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, add the heavy cream and lemon juice, stirring to combine.

Crab Cakes

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. 5

    Form and Cook

    Form the mixture into patties. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Lemon Aioli

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
