Crab Bisque
Author: Kelly Donlea
- In a challenge from our audience to create a copycat crab bisque similar to the best Maryland Crab Shacks, we combined the styles of many favorites we found online. We hope this fills the request for the Copycat of Jerry’s Seafood Crab Bisque, with a little extra love and ingredients. Now I just wish it was easy to get delicious Maryland Crab here in the midwest!
