Instructions

1 Set the slow cooker to the stovetop/sear setting or heat a large skillet over
medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once melted, toss in the leeks,
garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt.
2 Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring until the leeks soften. Stir in the tomato
paste and cook for an additional minute.
3 Pour in the wine, cooking until reduced by half. If using a skillet, transfer to
slow cooker, scraping any bits left behind.
4 Add stock, diced tomatoes, Old Bay seasoning, and sugar. Stir well.
5 In a cup, whisk water and flour until smooth, then stir into the soup. Season
with salt and pepper.
6 Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours (or LOW for 4 hours).
7 Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in shrimp, crab, cream, and parsley, cooking
for 15 minutes or until shrimp is pink.
8 Mix lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustards, and parsley for crab topping. Gently fold
in crab meat and season with salt. Keep chilled until serving.
