This crab & shrimp soup is a Thursday special at many home-style Nicaraguan restaurants in Sweetwater, a Miami neighborhood known as “Little Managua.” The traditional recipe calls for live blue crabs, which are boiled to make a sort of crab broth. For the sake of convenience, I use lump crabmeat and bottled clam broth or fish stock.
