Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Lobster

In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the lobster tails and cook for about 5-6 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove the tails, let them cool, and then chop the meat into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the shells.

2. Make the Base

In the same pot, add the remaining butter, finely chopped shallots, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.

3. Add Stock and Simmer

Pour in the fish stock, add the lobster shells, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

4. Blend the Soup

Remove the lobster shells and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and bring back to a gentle simmer.

5. Finish with Lobster and Pistou

Add the chopped lobster meat back into the bisque and heat through. Serve the bisque hot, drizzled with pistou on top.
