Add minced garlic, tomato paste, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to form a light roux.

Gradually whisk in warm broth, bringing to a gentle simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to thicken.

Blend the soup until smooth and return to the pot.

Stir in heavy cream and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Fold in crab meat and shrimp, adding sherry if using. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
