  • Chef’s knife
  • Cutting board
  • Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams of crab meat
  • 200 grams of shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Clean the shrimp and crab meat. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
  • Cook the Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent.
  • Make the Roux: Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes to cook the flour without browning.

  3. Low Heat for Cream: Add the cream on low heat to avoid curdling.
  4. Seasoning: Adjust salt and pepper gradually to enhance the natural flavors of the seafood.
  5. Fresh Garnish: Serve with fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.
