- Enhance the creamy foundation by adding heavy whipping cream, tomato paste, and Old Bay seasoning, stirring thoroughly to blend the flavors and allow the mixture to simmer gently.
- Delicately fold succulent shrimp and tender crab meat into the simmering liquid, cooking until the seafood is perfectly heated and reaches optimal doneness.
- Fine-tune the bisque’s flavor profile with a judicious balance of salt and pepper, tasting and adjusting as needed.
