How to Make Creamy Seafood Dip

  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 pound cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1/2 pound cooked lobster meat (chopped), 1/4 cup dry sherry, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
  7. Serve warm with toasted English muffins, toast points, or alongside poached eggs for a luxurious brunch.
  8. Garnish with extra parsley and chives before serving.
