Lobster Bisque Ingredients

Method

Directions for Lobster Bisque

  1. 1

    Prepare Lobster Stock

    In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Lobster Shells and Wine

    Add lobster shells to the pot and stir well. Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced.

  3. 3

    Simmer with Stock

    Add the fish stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the mixture to remove shells and solids, returning the liquid to the pot.

  4. 4

    Make the Bisque Creamy

    Stir in the heavy cream and lobster meat, and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 10 minutes over low heat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the bisque into bowls and drizzle with lemon oil before serving.
