Answer 1

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

1/2 cup chopped sweet type or yellow onion

1 1/2 tablespoon flour

1/2 cup clam juice

2 cups whipping cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1 cup uncooked small shrimp

5 ounces white lump crabmeat

Dash of cayenne pepper (optional)

Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook until soft.

Stir in the flour and cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Slowly pour in the clam juice and cream. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Cook, stirring, about 3 minutes.

In another saucepan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Add the shrimp and cook about 2 minutes.

Add the crabmeat and cook about 1 minute. Stir into cream mixture. Servings: 6

Glenda hope this might be one of the sauces they use for crab cakes. Never had their crab cakes. Do know, when making crab cakes that the more crab used in recipe better. Hope someone finds whole recipe n correct sauce.

Must try their Mediterranean Calamari.. Made with fried calamari, articoke hearts, capers, fetta cheese,little tiny chopped tomatoes, with slices of pepperonci mix over fried calamari..this was so delicious
