Lobster and Crab Bisque Recipe

Prepare the Base

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Tomato Paste and Flour

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to combine, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

Add Seafood Stock

Gradually pour in the seafood stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Incorporate Cream and Meats

Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream, lobster meat, and crab meat. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

Season the Bisque

Add sherry, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve

Ladle the bisque into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
