Red Lobster Crab Alfredo

4 tablespoons Butter or margarine
4 tablespoons Flour
2 cups Half-and-half
1/2 cup (or more to Taste) grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt and white pepper to Taste
Few grains cayenne pepper (optional)
6 (8 oz.) cooked snow crab meat, cut into chunks

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour, and cook briefly until the mixture looks sandy. Do NOT let it color.

Wisk in the half-and-half, and stir until the mixture forms a thick sauce.

Stir in the cheese, and season to taste. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors, and stir in the crab meat. Cook JUST until the crab is heated through.

Serve over cooked linguini, with additional Parmesan cheese and hot red pepper flakes on the side.

Before some purist jumps me, I KNOW this isn’t a classic Alfredo, but it is a very good dish, and remarkably easy to make.

This may be varied by substituting cooked lobster meat for the crab, or by adding 36 cooked, peeled and deveined medium shrimp, and about a quarter of a cup of chopped cooked broccoli instead of the crab meat.

Red Lobster’s Wild Mushroom soup

6 oz portabella mushrooms
6 oz shiitake mushrooms
8 oz button mushrooms
1 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tspn chopped garlic
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup diced yellow onions
2 tspn chopped fresh thyme
2 small bay leaves
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¼ tspn black pepper
½ tspn salt
3 tbsp cooking sherry
2 qts beef stock
1¼ cups heavy cream

For beef stock: Place 2 quarts water and 2 tablespoons beef-stock base in a saucepan and simmer until beef-stock base has dissolved.

Remove stock from the heat and allow it to cool until it is refrigerator temperature.

Wash all mushrooms in lukewarm water in a deep bowl. Mix the mushrooms well to loosen the dirt. Remove them from the water by hand, leaving the dirt behind.

Remove the stems from the shiitake mushrooms, and then slice all of the mushrooms. Keep the button mushrooms separate from the others.

For soup: Heat a 6-8 quart saucepan over moderately high heat. Pour in the melted butter. Add button mushrooms and diced yellow onions to hot butter and cook until mushrooms are soft.

Add the remaining mushrooms and garlic and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the sherry and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Reduce the heat and add the flour. Using a cooking spoon, mix well and cook for 2 minutes or until butter and flour (roux) start cooking away from the sides of the saucepan.

Add half of the cold beef stock and stir until liquid thickens.

Add the remainder of the stock and spices and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the cream and allow soup to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Cooks note: This soup needs a smooth texture. Since the flour flavor must be completely cooked out, your cooking time may vary. Make sure stock is cool before adding it to the hot roux, (approximately 40° cool in the refrigerator). If roux and stock are both hot, your soup will be lumpy.
