Roasted Carrot Crab Bisque Shooters

The story of a party food that came from disorganization:

So in the midst of trying to be organized during the chaos that is December, I forgot my shopping list for Trader Joes. So I forgot that we didn’t need more baby carrots and bought some. So I forgot I still had two semi-full bags in the fridge when putting away groceries.

I’m trying to get better about not letting produce go to die in the fridge. So I chucked most of those tired looking carrots in a pan with some onions (that were also on borrowed time), olive oil, salt and pepper and roasted the mix. The cooler weather has me craving soup and from there I let my mind wander….how about using up that week old arugula…some crab would be a nice protein addition….which serving vessel would make this a more interesting photo?

The result? Roasted Carrot Crab Bisque Shooters for your holiday party, 7 fish Christmas Eve dinner, (or just skip the shot glasses and serve in bowls for a warming lunch or dinner.)

My parents always come over on Christmas Eve after church and this will be a great addition to my menu. It will be a seafood bonanza with smoked oyster stuffed cherry tomatoes, shrimp cocktail, and this crab bisque. So pretty. Thanks for the great recipe!
