This recipe is DELISH if you’re a crab and mussel lover 🦀❤️
Serves 3-4
Ingredients
4 tbsp. Butter
2 celery stalks
2 green onions (could you a regular onion if you perfect)
4 tbsp flour
3 cups milk
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup heavy cream (or half and half)
8 oz lump or claw crab meat (please do use imitation crab)
8 oz mussels with or without shell
3 tbsp white wine
Old bay (optional)
Hot sauce
French Baguette
Melt butter in large pan. Add celery and green onions. Cook for about 5 minutes then add flour. Stir until mixed and cook another minute. Add milk slowly while whisking. Add salt and pepper. Cook until milk is heated through then add tomato paste and heavy cream. Cook until hot, stirring constantly. Add crab and mussels and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Add white wine, old bay and hot sauce! Serve extra hot with French bread (or any other baked or toasted bread you like) 😋
P.S. if you want to wait to eat it, refrigerate it and heat it later. Do not leave it on low, it WILL burn if it’s not being stirred constantly. I learned the hard way! 🥴
