Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 quart heavy cream
  • 1 quart whole milk
  • 1½ pounds raw seafood of choice, traditionally 1/2 each of three choices (lump crab, bay scallops, medium shrimp, lobster, any firm fish)

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven melt the butter. Sauté the onion and garlic until the onion starts to soften. Whisk in the flour, tomato paste, Cajun seasoning, and Old Bay seasoning. Slowly whisk in the cream and milk.
  2. Bring the soup to a boil and stir in the seafood. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

*Tips

  • If your seafood is NOT raw add it towards the end of cook time just to heat it through. Don’t overcook the seafood or it will be tough.
