Crab and Shrimp Soup image

This creamy soup is not only quick and easy to throw together, but it is so good. Full of shrimp and big sweet lumps of crab, the flavor combinations are great! The seasonings are spot-on and the slight hint of lemon from the zest pulls it all together. This soup will be great a cool crisp evening or even a special occasion.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I had some leftover crab and shrimp from a party, and this soup was the perfect way to use it up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found the soup to be a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

I added some chopped vegetables to the soup, like carrots, celery, and onions. It added a nice crunch and extra flavor.

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use frozen crab and shrimp, so it's a great recipe to have on hand for busy weeknights.
