Інгредієнти

4 Tablespoons unsalted butter

1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped (about 1 cup)

3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon Old Bay seasoning (plus additional for garnish, if desired)

¼ teaspoon table salt (plus more to taste as needed)

2 cups heavy cream (1 pint)

2 Tablespoons dry sherry

Напрямки

Melt butter in a large pot over medium/low heat. Once melted, add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened.

Add flour and whisk until absorbed by the butter. Add Old Bay, salt, and pepper and continue to cook, whisking or stirring well, another 90 seconds longer.

Slowly whisk in half and half until all has been added. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thickened (it should coat the back of a spoon).

Slowly stir in heavy cream, then add sherry and crab meat. Stir gently (don’t break up the crab meat too much by stirring vigorously) until combined and reduce heat to low. Cook 5-10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, taste-test for more spices then serve.
