Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they are bright red and cooked through. Remove the lobster tails and let them cool.

  2. 2

    Chop the Lobster

    Once cool, remove the lobster meat from the shells and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Cooking the Bisque

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Tomato Paste and Wine

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.

  3. 5

    Add Stock and Simmer

    Add the fish stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

  4. 6

    Blend the Mixture

    Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, purée the bisque until smooth. If using a regular blender, be cautious of hot liquid splattering.

  5. 7

    Add Cream and Lobster

    Stir in the heavy cream and chopped lobster meat. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Bisque

    Ladle the lobster bisque into bowls, and top each serving with a dollop of crème fraîche.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Sprinkle with chopped chives for a fresh finish. Serve immediately.
