1 lb cooked shrimp
8 ounces crabmeat (canned, drained)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, small, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups skim milk
1 teaspoon seafood soup base
1 red bell pepper, diced
8 baby portabella mushrooms, sliced (cremini mushrooms)
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
4 ounces parmesan cheese (grated, fresh, best you can afford)

1
In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat.
2
Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until just tender (3-5 minutes).
3

4
Slowly add milk and whisk until thick and smooth (may take 5-15 minutes to thickenk).
5
Add the soup base and mix in well.
6
Add red pepper and simmer until pepper is just tender -- maybe another 5 minutes.
7
Add shrimp, crab, mushrooms, spinach, and Parmesan, and simmer just until everything is warmed through and tender.

10
Serve over pasta, rice, couscous, biscuits -- whatever you like.
