Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Paste

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with Brandy

    Pour in the brandy and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Stock and Spices

    Add the fish stock, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Cream and Seafood

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, lobster meat, and crab meat. Simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning to taste, and serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
