Make the Lobster Stock
In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add lobster shells and sauté for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic; cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables are softened. Stir in tomato paste and white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot. Add fish stock or chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Strain and reserve the stock.
