SHRIMP AND CRAB BISQUE

Melt the butter in a pot. Add the onions and celery and sauté until soft. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir in the curry powder, paprika, tomato paste and flour. Gradually stir in the broth. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer 20 minutes.

Add the crab meat with the liquid. Cook 10 minutes. Add the shrimp, rum and condensed milk. Cook until heated through. Allow to cool about 20 minutes. Puree in a blender, or preferably with a hand blender. Leave the consistency coarse and a little chunky. If using a blender, only fill the container 2/3 to the top and use pulse a few times. Check the seasonings and add salt and pepper or more rum if desired. Serve with chopped chives.
