Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups seafood stock
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound lump crab meat
1/2 pound scallops, cleaned and patted dry
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 large crusty bread rolls
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tops off of the bread rolls and carefully hollow out the insides, leaving a thick border. Brush the insides and outsides of the bread with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Place the hollowed-out rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the flour and cook for another minute to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the seafood stock, heavy cream, and white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Stir in Old Bay seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper to taste.
Add the shrimp, crab meat, and scallops to the soup. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the seafood is just cooked through and tender.
Stir in the fresh parsley.
Ladle the seafood soup into the prepared bread bowls. Top with extra parsley for garnish.
