🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for 2-3 minutes until pink. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the remaining butter, onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes.

4. Gradually whisk in the seafood broth, ensuring no lumps form.
5. Stir in heavy cream, white wine (if using), Old Bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
6. Fold in the crab meat, lobster, and cooked shrimp. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
7. Serve the bisque in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges.
