5. **Add the Seafood:** Stir in the crab meat and shrimp. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and the crab is heated through. Be careful not to overcook the seafood.

7. **Final Adjustments:** Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice if needed. Remove the bay leaf.
8. **Serve:** Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
