Smokey Crab Bisque

cowgirl · Mar 1, 2019

I'm behind in posting cooks. Been too busy around here!

Visited a restaurant in Oklahoma City recently and was happy to see Crab Bisque on the menu. Sadly, it tasted like canned cheese soup and crab with a "k". :tape: I came home and made my own.

Used some of my cold smoked butter. I keep sticks of it in the freezer and use it for a ton of things.

gathered some ingredients...

some king crab meat...

started with the smoked butter... ended up using 2 sticks..

added my cream..

cooked tatoes...

shrimp...

the crab meat...

spices, bacon and parsley and dinner was ready.

Fried up a couple of soft shelled crabs for toppers and called er good.

added some extra crab meat on top...

The girls were happy it wasn't chicken and noodle night.

It was smokey and comforting. I got carried away with too many ingredients but loved the flavor. :-D

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Josh! I was going to save that second soft shell for a sandwich but couldn't resist. It didn't last long enough.
Hope you have a great weekend! :-D

I understand that. Just getting ready for the cold front. Be glad when April gets here.

Can I get a seasoning list?

Czarbecue · Mar 2, 2019

Damn. That looks good! Have you had the lobster bisque at Texas de Brazil? I still haven’t found anything close to it.

WOW! That sounds amazing! And all those delicious cold smoked items, I really don't know what to do with myself right now. Or be sad that I had leftover pulled pork nachos for dinner. Well as always, it looks great. Even if I'm starving now.

That looks incredible Jeanie! Hope you are well...looks like it

You say you got carried away with too many ingredients but remember one of my favorite sayings: “nothing succeeds like excess.” As usual another fantastic looking dish. I’ve never had bisque before but I love all seafood so I bet it’s good and I bet yours is some of the best.

Stay warm girl. It’s gonna be nasty this weekend...

Great. I 'get' to go to OKC next week, and I won't get a bowl of that?!

Bluebird · Mar 2, 2019

Wow, that looks great!

As always Jeanie just fantastic, good to see the girld were happy.

JJJBBQ · Mar 2, 2019

Awesome cook. Anything starting with two sticks of butter has to be good!

Your bisque looks fantastic, I'm sure it was excellent. It doesn't surprise me that anything you make at home would far surpass restaurant food! Superb job, as always.

Great looking cook, Jeanie! I totally appreciate the disappointment of eating out and knowing you could have cooked that dish at a higher level. Great tip on using cold smoked butter - definitely need to give that a go.

Some comfort food would be welcome here in True North... going to be a little chilly these next few days!
