Lobster Bisque Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare Lobster Stock

   In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the lobster shells and sauté for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the stock and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In the same pot, add the remaining butter. Sauté shallots and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Deglaze and Add Stock

   Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits. Add the lobster stock to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer.

4. 4

   Incorporate Cream and Seafood

   Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the sidestripe shrimp and crab meat, cooking until the shrimp is pink and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Finish and Serve

   Drizzle with truffle oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in chopped chives. Serve hot.
