2        stalks celery, finely chopped
2        cloves garlic, minced
1/3     cup all-purpose flour
3        cups chicken broth
1/2     pound steamed medium size fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
2        cups half-and-half
1        teaspoon Creole seasoning

DIRECTIONS:
Remove lobster meat from shell; coarsely chop and set aside.

1 .   In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in flour, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth; cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
