5 from 1 review

Chupe can be made of many different types of meat and flavors.

  • Total Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, peeled, cut into small cubes
  • 4 (50 grams) tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups seafood broth (I used 1 cup of clam juice and 2 of water)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • salt and pepper, paprika to season
  • 200 grams of crab meat
  • 1 can of clams
  • 1 can of other seafood you like
  • 1 cup shrimp without tails, cooked and cleaned

Topping,

  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs, Panko
  • 3 slices of cheese

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the oil, add the finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, occasionally stirring about 5-8 minutes. 
  2. Add the flour and stir over medium heat for 2 minutes, add seafood broth, stir all very well, and let it cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring. You will notice that it thickens, add milk and wine, and continue cooking over medium heat until it boils and thickens—taste and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. In oven-dish, make a bed with the crab meat, clams, and shrimp. Pour over the sauce. I like to do so, the shellfish are well distributed, and everyone gets all kinds of seafood.
  4. Sprinkle with half the bread crumbs, place the slices of cheese and sprinkle with remaining breadcrumbs. Broil in the oven until golden. Serve hot.
